The nearly two dozen case studies in this realistic, timely book will help future and current coaches of school
sports develop successful strategies to avoid or overcome challenges and become more aware of the need to remain
professional and consider the implications of their actions. Based on real-life situations, it considers ethical
and practical dilemmas from sports in locations across the country.
These compelling case studies illustrate everyday scenarios--such as teaching style conflicts, scheduling issues,
cheating, confidentiality decisions, and working with over-involved parents--that occur in school coaching and
athletics. The cases and the thought-provoking discussion questions that follow allow readers to work through the
types of dilemmas they will face in their coaching careers and then carefully formulate their responses and decisions.
A resource list for each case allows readers to further explore the issues and develop their personal responses
to each situation.
