Coaches are placed in a myriad of ethical decision-making situations. Making decisions such as playing time, boosters, parents, social media, power differentials, scholarships, and relationships are just a few examples of what a coach may need to navigate. While many day-to-day situations are easily resolved, some are not. Therefore, how and by what process should a coach make these decisions? This book presents a variety of cases based on true stories that present some of the ethical decisions coaches must make across high school, collegiate, and professional sports.

Using a sequential system of less to more complicated, 40 case studies are presented across the sports spectrum that coaches have experienced. This is a key component of the book. Although names and situations have been changed, these cases have happened and provide real applicability to coaches. In addition, each case may contain multiple situations perhaps with no "right" answer that test a coach's value system and ability to prioritize actions. Questions are provided at the end of each case that allow for reflection.

The primary audience for this book includes current coaches as well as students in coach education programs at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
