Pre-Owned Ethics and Sport Human Rights in Youth Sport: A Critical Review of Children's Rights in Competitive Sport, (Hardcover)

<p>Does competitive sport respect children&amp;#39;s human rights? Is intensive training child labour? Is competitive stress a form of child abuse?</p> <p>The human rights of children have been recognized in the 1989 UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, and ratified by 192 countries. Paulo David&amp;#39;s work makes it clear, however, that too often competitive sport fails to recognize the value of respect for international child rights norms and standards. </p> <p><em>Human Rights in Youth Sport</em> offers critical analysis of some very real problems within youth sport and argues that the future development of sport depends on the creation of a child-centred sport system. Areas of particular concern include issues of: </p> <ul> <li>over-training</li> <li>physical, emotional and sexual abuse</li> <li>doping and medical ethics</li> <li>education</li> <li>child labour </li> <li>accountability of governments, sports federations, coaches and parents.</li></ul> <p>The text will be essential reading for anybody with an interest in the ethics of sport, youth sport, coaching and sports development.</p>
