Limits to Growth in Elite Sport ABSTRACT: The purpose of this paper is to discuss some of the ethical implications and problems in elite sport as it gets closer to the human performance limit. Modern elite sport must be viewed on the background of the idea of systematic progress. The Olympic motto, 'citius, altius, fortius'-faster, higher, stronger-gives a precise concentration of this idea. Modern sport is also influenced by the liberal idea of a free market where actors can perform, compete
Defying Society's Norms When a person decides to enter a sport that is not traditionally competed in by his or her sex, there are many risks. One of these risks is the risk of getting rejected or ridiculed because participating in that sport is not common. However, if no one ever dared to defy the socially accepted boundaries, then women would not be playing sports. There are girls who defy these boundaries and wrestle or play football in high school as well as boys who enter field hockey. These
Society and Sports There are many repercussions that are projected upon both men and women when they enter into a sport that typically isn’t thought of as gender appropriate.

Many American parents struggle to answer the puzzling question of what the appropriate age children should start to participate in competitive sports.

This will impact on the staff and opponents (travelling to the stadium) as the accessibility of transport will impact on travelling

Athletic Experiences My athletic experiences have been very satisfying and positive. In the fist paradox, Sport Unites, Sport divides; Sport unites because it brings people of different class, race and gender together. I have met some great individuals while playing sports that are still my friends today. I have learned a great deal from these encounters. Not only about sports but also different cultures. I had an African American teammate that invited me to her house for a holiday meal
Social Influences on Sport Participation It is clear that sport is strongly influenced by social factors and by human cultural responses.
