Introduction
Treating the child or adolescent athlete poses several ethical dilemmas. There is no simple, clear-cut response to these dilemmas, and the decision-making often lies with the sports clinician, who has to consider a wide range of factors, including the legal context and the clinician’s ethical framework that guides their everyday practice. In this course, unique ethical issues that arise in sports are discussed, and the ethical standards and approaches when managing the child and adolescent athlete will be considered.
