Curiosities and Market Connection

Did you know that many professionals in sports—like coaches and managers—receive training in sports ethics? This is because ethical practices can greatly affect the reputation of teams and their sponsors.

Instances like Lance Armstrong's downfall due to doping demonstrate how a lack of ethical behaviour can destroy careers and sully the reputation of entire sports. Ethics in sports goes beyond just following the rules; it involves respecting opponents, accepting referees’ decisions, and engaging in honest play.

Initial Activity

To capture the students' interest, present a brief video (3 to 5 minutes) highlighting examples of ethical and unethical conduct in sports.

Allow the students to reflect and discuss briefly in pairs or small groups.
