| Using Sport as a Vehicle for Social Change |
| This workshop explores how societal issues of ethics, race, gender, religion, and sexuality affect sport in general and teams more specifically. Part I examines how ethics, commercialism, and politics impact the potential for developing character through sport. Part II is an interactive session that offers insights and recommendations for building bridges across these differences on teams, including how coaches can create better communications and relationships, eliminate prejudice and discrimination, and build team unity. |
