Episode: In Pursuit of Modest Competence - Prof. R. Scott Kretchmar (Pt1) - Meaningful Sport Series
Description: Meaningful movement experiences are a key interest to physical educators and others seeking to understand our movement culture practices. But how meaningfulness might arise is a difficult question. From the pursuit of excellence or the pursuit of modest competence in our sporting activities? If sport is "mere" hobby, can it still be very meaningful? What about the physical education context - which strategies seem promising for facilitating meaningful experiences? What is the role of challenging and tough experiences? These questions are at the heart of our conversation with Professor Scott Kretchmar, one of the leading philosophers of sport.Â
