Joy and pain in sport – Disillusionment and sadness, but also hope and optimism
€ 29,00
When fellow countrymen win a medal at an international sports event the whole spectrum of positive and negative emotions is expressed, by athletes, spectators, even by the strongest sports-critics and sports-indifferent people. There are winners and losers, fans for and against, sadness and disillusionment, abuse and injustice, grief and pain but there is also fair play, empathy, integrity, joy and optimism. In this essay, I write about abuses, dangers and challenges in sport, what causes them and how we can manage them, but also about how we can better realise the positive potential of sport in the 21e century context. We can do better… Much better!
"In 2004, Panathlon’s “Declaration on Ethics in Youth Sports” has been issued; the declaration was quickly endorsed by international, national and regional sports organizations. In Flanders, successive Ministers of Sport took initiatives to embed its essentials in the decree on ‘Ethically Responsible Sports’ and to give the International Centre of Ethics in Sport (I.C.E.S.) the assignment to provide ethical advice and design practical manuals for sports clubs. In my optimism, I thought I saw the light at the end of the tunnel. However, it is enough to follow the media for a while to see that this light is all too often obstructed by yet another scandal, incident, abuse, unfair and unsportsmanlike conduct. Prof. Em. Yves Vanden Auweele had already been the whistle blower and, at the same time, a source of information on possible ways of preventing and, if necessary, sanctioning abuses and in doing so he keeps the sports enthusiast alert and reactive. Because in sport, as in all rapidly evolving sectors of society, nothing is definitively achieved if you do not strive daily and without compromise for a consistent eradication of abuses and aberrations. Yves Vanden Auweele has been advocating for years a structural approach to integrity management at micro, meso and macro level across the entire sports landscape. And that is what all sports fans have to do." (Paul Standaert, President Panathlon Belgium)
"Yves Vanden Auweele’s insights and conclusions draw attention to a difficult but necessary debate in sports. It is up to every sports organization today to take on its leadership role and to put its athletes at the centre of the equation, so that they can practice their favourite sport in an ethically sound and healthy way. Profound and sustainable changes take time, however, so it is important to keep the issues raised permanently on the agenda and to measure the impact of all actions taken."

Vreugde en pijn in de sport – Ontgoocheling en Verdriet maar ook Hoop en Optimisme
€ 29,00
Het ganse spectrum van positieve en negatieve emoties wordt geuit voor, tijdens en na competities, bij sporters en toeschouwers; zelfs bij de sterkste sportcritici en onverschilligen wanneer landgenoten op een internationaal sportevenement een medaille behalen. Winnaars en verliezers, supporters voor en tegen, jubel, euforie versus balen en ontgoocheling; misbruik en onrecht, verdriet en pijn maar ook fairplay, empathie, integriteit, vreugde en optimisme. In dit werk heb ik het over misbruiken, gevaren en uitdagingen in de sport, wat hiervan de oorzaken zijn en hoe we ze kunnen managen, maar ook over hoe we de positieve mogelijkheden van de sport in de huidige context beter kunnen realiseren. We kunnen beter. Veel beter!
"De inzichten en conclusies van Yves Vanden Auweele vestigen de aandacht op een moeilijk maar noodzakelijk debat in de sportsector. Het is aan elke sportorganisatie om vandaag haar leiderschapsrol op te nemen en om haar sporters centraal te zetten, zodat zij op een ethisch verantwoorde en gezonde wijze hun favoriete sport levenslang kunnen beoefenen. Diepgaande en duurzame verandering heeft echter tijd nodig, het is dus belangrijk om de aangehaalde thema’s permanent op de agenda te houden en het effect te meten van alle ondernomen acties."
