Vzhledem k účasti 3500 sportovců ve věku 14 až 18 let z 205 Národních olympijských výborů a programem zahrnujícím kompletní Olympijský program a kulturní a výchovný program (CEP) jsou Olympijské hry mládeže významnou událostí vyžadující zamyšlení. V textu se podíváme na sportovní program, některé nové sportovní formy, disciplíny a soutěže (např.

In order to explore coaches’ experience in working with multicultural teams, semi-structured interviews were conducted with six head coaches of professional basketball teams in Central and Northern Europe (two in Czech Republic, two in Germany, two in Latvia) and analysed using qualitative thematic analysis. The study focused primarily on communication and interaction between immigrated players and coaches, and on strategies used by coaches to overcome problems arising within multicultural teams. The findings identified three main themes: differences in values between foreign and domestic players/coaches; the formation of ethnic subgroups in teams; and race as a potentially problematic factor in coach–athlete relationships. The implications of this study include noting the importance of educational programs for coaches focused on raising cultural awareness, and recognising the need for further studies in this relatively under-researched area.

An integral aspect of martial arts is the development of the participants' moral approach to the self and to others. However, not all contemporary martial arts clubs take moral cultivation as important, which diminishes their potential. Problem and Aim. The paper presents various ways of cultivation of morality in the practice of martial arts. Methods. We employ the philosophical method of logical argumentation and description of various moral strategies within martial arts, together with an analysis and discussion of relevant literature. Results. The central aspects of moral development in the martial arts were considered in regard to the following themes: the ethos of the martial arts community; rules and Codes of Conduct as expressions of the martial arts community; martial arts etiquette; the importance of the example set by the teacher (Master); ways in which the acquisition of martial techniques can influence our moral development; the role of meditation in humanistic and moral education. Conclusion. A better understanding of the cultivation of morality in martial arts makes it possible to identify and nurture those moral strategies and practices that make the martial arts a suitable and rich means of moral development and moral education.

Looking beyond the regularly quantified aspects of sport performance, the authors utilize sport psychology, philosophy, ethics, theology and religious studies to examine the spiritual dimension of sport-whether it is described as "flow," "transcendence," or the discovery of meaning and value. In four successive yet interwoven sections (divided into three chapters each), the authors develop a working definition of spirituality, address the relationship between religion and sport, suggest how sport psychology could consider the spiritual dimensions in sport, and explore connections between virtues and diverse sport practices. In Section I, Simon Robinson provides an introduction to the notion of "spirituality" and to the idea of spirituality and sport. He traces the development of spirituality from its exclusive association with organized religion to the more diverse view of spirituality in the postmodern era and the New Age. Robinson argues that spirituality has become increasingly identified as a human quality rather than one strictly of formal religion. Spirituality now plays a bigger role in such things as community and institutional development, wellbeing, health, and personal growth. Robinson argues that these changing roles of spirituality can also be found and provide insight into the nature and purpose of sport. Robinson then provides a threefold definition of spirituality-one that is used for the remainder of the text. Spirituality is the awareness and appreciation of the other, the capacity to respond to the other, and the development of significant life meaning based upon all aspects of awareness and appreciation of and response to the other. Robinson further suggests that spirituality is located in experience. It is the capacity to appreciate the other in both similarities and differences. It is something often developed not only in the individual, but also in and through the disciplines and practices of a group or team. This definition stresses commitment, recognition and appreciation of others, and, Robinson argues, it is through this paradigm that spirituality provides a basis for personal identity and growth. Robinson's final chapter in the section suggests that the development of spirituality in the individual should be considered a journey rather than something that is attained. Reflection and dialog are needed to develop moral meaning. In turn, an awareness and responsibility to the other grows. With this come skills necessary for responding appropriately to any challenge to individual or group values within those relationships. Sport provides a platform for the development of these ideas-as a place where humans can find significant meaning in their lives through
