"This text will benefit practitioners and sport leaders by helping them develop more positive and nonjudgmental approaches toward supporting the positive development of athletes. By using examples dating back to ancient Rome, The Ethics of Sports illuminates the profound social and interpersonal influences that sport has on the development of personality traits, morals, and societal ethos. For readers, it will help differentiate the fine line between the passion and poison of sport. For university sport psychology and related curriculums, this text will be a highly valuable resource to help advance ethical and scholarlythought in the field."—Conrad Woolsey, July 27, 2011, Vol 56, Release 30, Article 7, PsycCRITIQUES
