Character Development in College Sport

Concerned with many of the abuses ascribed to college sport, an increasing number of administrators, physical educators, coaches, and observers of sport believe that it has the potential to shape character. The potential impact of sport on character development is discussed in two areas: program administration and teaching/coaching behavior. Specific practices such as conditional scholarships, non-graduation of athletes, gender bias, modeling, drill, explanation and demonstration, encouraging athletes to play when injured, “running up the score,” and performance evaluation are addressed. If students and athletes are important in sport, then character development should be an important aim of sport.
