Ethical Alternatives to the Approach That "Winning Is All That Matters"

Abstract: A 9 page discussion of the concept that winning is all that matters in sports. Clarifies that while winning is certainly an important concept in sports, it should not be regarded as being of primary importance. The author stresses that emphasizing winning as a primary goal sometimes results in unethical methods to accomplish that goal. Athletes should instead concentrate on improving their own self concepts and accomplishing self-mastery. Identifies ethically-based goal setting as a critical component of that venture. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
