ETHICS AND VALUES
Note

The school team was not performing to its abilities and was losing regularly due
to lack of physical fitness. The team players had heard about performance
enhancing medicines and started taking harmful substances without consulting
their coach. Their physique changed and fitness increased, but their rate of injury
also increased over time. They started to face various health issues and problems
which became a problem for their regular training. The coach, initiated a check
program and identified the problem of athletes using anabolic steroids. The coach
talked with the athletes during a player’s workshop and addressed the issues and
showed his concerns.

What did the coach address as the issues and concerns? Was it an issue of ethics
and values or it concerned sportsmanship? Let’s read this chapter and understand
about ethics, values and sportsmanship
