Neftaly: Training Youth in Ethical Decision-Making
At Neftaly (Southern Africa Youth Project), we are committed to nurturing young athletes who not only excel in their sports but also uphold strong ethical standards. Our ethical decision-making training equips youth with the tools to navigate complex situations with integrity, fostering a culture of respect, fairness, and accountability.
???? The Importance of Ethical Decision-Making in Youth Sports
Youth athletes often face situations that test their values, from peer pressure to performance-enhancing substances. Instilling ethical decision-making skills helps them make choices that align with personal and team values, promoting a positive sporting environment. Research indicates that structured training in ethical decision-making can influence attitudes towards issues like doping, encouraging healthier choices among young athletes .Taylor & Francis Online
