Description
This course, A question of ethics: right or wrong? discusses ethical and professional principles in sport and fitness environments.
Introduction
Working closely with individuals and developing relationships is an inherent and often satisfying part of the work of a sports coach or exercise instructor. However, it can bring about ethical and professional challenges and can sometimes place practitioners in a difficult or uncomfortable position, e.g. confidence shared and/or personal dilemmas. The course considers the good practice and certain ethical issues, in particular the relationship between the coach/instructor and individuals with a specific focus on power relationships. We also explore the responsibility of the practitioner to help develop character.
