About the Book

In an era when our news is filled with reports of athletes who run amok on the field, on the court and on the street and when cheating by players and coaches has become a part of the daily discourse, sportsmanship has never been a more timely topic. "Sport and Character" can help those involved in sport tackle the important lessons of sportsmanship by encouraging them to practice and teach respect for opponents, coaches, officials, team-mates and the game. Using examples from common situations that occur on and off the field, this book brings to life what is required in order to be a good sport. Special 'News Breaks' incorporated throughout the text present practical examples of sportsmanship drawn from current sport news, including articles about Michael Phelps, Shawn Johnson, Jimmy Rollins and Nastia Liukin. Inspirational quotes by Phil Jackson, John Wooden and Mickey Mantle add vitality to this tool for building good athletes and in turn good citizens. "Sport and Character" is endorsed by the American Sport Education Program (ASEP). Established by world-renowned sport psychologist Rainer Martens, ASEP has trained more than 1.5 million coaches since its inception.

About the Author :
Craig Clifford has an extensive background teaching ethics and philosophy of sport at both the undergraduate and the graduate level. From 1988 to 1992 he was the Head Varsity Men's and Women's Tennis Coach at Tarleton State University in Texas, during which they qualified three times for the NAIA national tournament. A frequent author on the subject of sportsmanship, Clifford has published more than 100 guest columns in major newspapers. Randolph M. Feezell is a Professor of Philosophy. A former youth, high school and collegiate baseball coach, Feezell has written numerous articles on the philosophy of sport and ethics.

Review :
"Randolph Feezell is, as I see things, quite simply the most engaging writer in philosophy of sport. His contributions to virtue ethics, especially regarding the virtue of sportsmanship, should be read by everyone who is interested in the moral character of contemporary athletes, coaches, and fans." Daniel A. Dombrowski Professor of Philosophy Seattle University "Sport and Character addresses the key reason athletic competition is relevant and important--the development of sound character through competitive sports. This book provides a good look at the reasons for our national decline in sportsmanship and ways we can restore time-honored principles dedicated to character development through athletics." Tom Osborne Athletic Director University of Nebraska
