professional of sport

This is a short reflection about the hole between the speech and the action in teaching sports.
Given the undeniable unpredictability of the experiences in any sports and physical activities,
oriented or not, there will be a better way to act; a more correct? Since some authors claim to
be shy the presence of the deep ethics issues in the Physical Education formation, becomes
necessary to change the panorama.
There are a lot of visions and perspectives about Ethics. Anyway, it always refers to the
greatest and highest values, as the Good, the Correct, the Right [1]. Thus, how the professional
action in Physical Education is essentially with people, in an educative relationship, become
“imperative to support it on ethical principles” [2].
Nowadays, we live in a world of axiological relativism, where the teachers need increasingly
interfering morally and ethically. The deontological code has been insufficient and the
university seems don´t give much importance to the ethics formation. Therefore, even its
(university) contribution may be small, shall be done with excellence and the role educational
of the educators on sports should leave the paper and come alive in practice.
