Applied Ethics for Sport Managers

Why do we love sport? Is it the thrill of competition? The unpredictability of the outcome? Or could it be that we are drawn to sport because, on a subconscious level, sport tests our ethical resolve? Written in a student-friendly way, this book will heighten your awareness regarding the importance, responsibilities, and challenge of becoming the complete sport manager. The complete sport manager is someone who evolves from a manager of sport to a leader of sport by operating professionally, ethically, and socially responsibly.

Applied exercises will put your conceptual and theoretical learning to the test:

• It's Your Turn—Challenges you to recognize and accept your professional responsibilities by determining: What must I do?
• Take Action—Propels you into the real world of managing sport ethically by reflecting and acting on: What should I do? And, why should I do it?
• Take the Lead—Challenges you to shift from a manager of sport to a leader of sport by answering the call: What can I do?
• Red Flag Challenges—Test your commitment to fulfill all three of your responsibilities to operate professionally, ethically, and socially responsibly by determining: What must I do? What should I do? And, what can I do?
