Sport as moral educator

reason and habit on the school playing field

Simon Eassom

pp. 129-148

Abstract

Many of us believe that sport is more than just the education of the physical. Or rather, it should be more than just this. Many claims have been made for the varied functions of physical education and participation in sport. Most of these link, in some way, the situations encountered in sport with those of everyday life. Sport can be considered as a training ground.
