Title: Human Rights In Youth Sport ISBN: 0415305586 Publisher: Routledge (UK) Author(s): Paulo David Format: Hardcover Publication Date: 16 Dec 2004 Subject: Sports & Recreation Pages: 264
The human rights of the child were recognized in the UN's 1989 Convention
on the Rights of the Child, which was ratified by 192 countries. Paulo
David's work makes it clear, however, that too often competitive sport
has yet to recognize the value of respect for international children’s
rights norms and standards. Human Rights in Youth Sport 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-centered
sport system. Areas of particular concern include issues of over training,
physical, emotional and sexual abuse, doping and medical ethics, education
and child labor. The text also examines the specific responsibilities
and accountabilities of parents, coaches and managers and should be
essential reading for anybody with an interest in the ethics of sport,
youth sport, coaching and sports development.
