Clifford and Feezell, both successful coaches and respected teachers and authors on the subject of ethics in sport, begin by offering a framework for thinking about sportsmanship. After reading a discussion of the principles of sportsmanship you'll learn how these principles can penetrate beyond the sport arena to provide guidance for everyday life."--Back cover.
