Event: The case study involves a group of student athletes who were found to be taking performance-enhancing drugs to improve their athletic performance. The school's athletic program was suspended as a result.
Lesson Objectives: The lesson objectives related to ethics, integrity, and the impact of performance-enhancing drugs in sports are evident in the case study.
Impact: The events had a negative impact on society as it highlighted the issue of doping in sports and the pressure student athletes face to succeed.
Response(s): My reaction to the events is one of disappointment that the student athletes resorted to cheating to gain an advantage. It also raises concerns about the culture of athletics and the potential harm these drugs can cause to young individuals.
Result(s): I may have handled the situation differently by implementing more stringent drug testing policies and providing education on the dangers of performance-enhancing drugs. By applying this knowledge, I could help prevent similar incidents from happening in the future.
Conclusion: From the perspective of a sports manager, I have learned the importance of promoting ethical behavior and integrity in athletics. I will use this information in the future by implementing policies and programs to educate athletes on the risks of doping and fostering a culture of fair play and sportsmanship.
