Summary 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.
