•What Is Ethics?

• Ethics refers to moral principles of duty and virtue that define what is right and wrong and prescribe how we should behave to be good and honorable.

•Duty and Virtue.

• The dual concepts of duty and virtue suggest both a minimal, mandatory aspect of ethics (duty) and an realm of special moral excellence that goes beyond what is required (virtue).

Duty.

• In sports, duty refers to the minimal expectations embodied in core ethical principles. According to the Arizona Sports Summit Accord these principles are the "Six Pillars of Character" — trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and good citizenship. It is, therefore, unethical to violate these standards of duty by being dishonest, disrespectful, irresponsible, unfair, uncaring or ignoring requirements of good citizenship.

•Virtue.

• Virtue refers to a special degree of moral excellence above minimal ethical requirements. A person of character should aspire to be virtuous and virtuous conduct is highly commendable, but a person is not unethical for failing to go above and beyond his or her moral duties.

Discernment and Will Power

• Two Aspects of Ethics:

• Discernment. In morally ambiguous situations where ethical duties are not clear or there is no single right thing to do; an ethical person must seek to discern right from wrong. Discernment involves the application of ethical principles to real situations. In sports, the line between right and wrong is not always apparent.

• Will Power. Moral will power and ethical commitment is needed in situations where ethical duties are clear but the potential cost of doing the right thing is so high that it takes strength of character to overcome the pressures and resist the temptations to do otherwise. Coaches and athletes are continually faced with opportunities to cheat or engage in improper and unsportsmanlike conduct and there are often great pressures for them to do so in order to get a competitive edge.

• SPORTSMANSHIP

• Ethics is a much broader term than sportsmanship. Ethics refers to moral standards that apply to all aspects of human activity while sportsmanship refers to the ethical framework and standards of conduct that define the honorable pursuit of victory in competitive activities.

• Trustworthiness

• The principles of ethics and sportsmanship require coaches and athletes to always behave in ways that justify and generate trust. This includes demonstrating scrupulous integrity and honesty, keeping promises, and being loyal.

•Respect

• Good sportsmanship requires participants to behave respectfully, being civil, polite even gracious. Coaches are expected to treat athletes, parents, officials and others with respect.

•Fairness

• Coaches should assure that their teams and athletes play by the rules and treat everyone fairly.

•Caring

• The professional duty of coaches to put athletes’ welfare first is one element of caring. Coaches also have a duty to care about the health and safety of opponents. Good coaches are always sensitive to the psychological and physical impact their words and decisions may have on athletes and others.
