I have occasionally posted on ethical dilemmas for coaching climbing, however I alway enjoy reading something that makes me think. Especially when it is from one of my favourite authors, Malcolm Gladwell, who wrote among other things Blink.
In this article in the New Yorker magazine he brings up the argument of genetic over science. What is better, one or the other. At times he asks why is one thing banned by the World Anti Doping Agency whilst another thing is fine. Is it a win at all cost mentality we are after or something else.
Anyway, read it if you enjoy sport of any kind and if you coach I wonder if there is line you would or wouldn’t cross ethically speaking that is?
