Sport and Character by Craig Clifford

Helps those involved in sport tackle the important lessons of sportsmanship by encouraging them to practice and teach respect for opponents, coaches, officials, team-mates and the game. Using examples from common situations that occur on and off the field, this book presents what is required in order to be a good sport.

“Randolph Feezell is, as I see things, quite simply the most engaging writer in philosophy of sportHis contributions to virtue ethics, especially regarding the virtue of sportsmanship, should be read by everyone who is interested in the moral character of contemporary athletes, coaches, and fans.”

Daniel A. Dombrowski

Professor of Philosophy

“Sport and Character addresses the key reason athletic competition is relevant and important—the development of sound character through competitive sports. This book provides a good look at the reasons for our national decline in sportsmanship and ways we can restore time-honored principles dedicated to character development through athletics.”

Tom Osborne

Athletic Director

University of Nebraska
