Our own attitudes, values and behaviour could impact on our work with children and young people as we are not neutral beings and even on a sub-conscious level me may be intimating information that impacts negatively on some children or young people. We need to be clear on our own attitudes, values and behaviour and identify how we can work on our own mindset if need be. For instance the language we use can have loaded meanings, in the way we choose to describe things or people. For instance referring to people as ‘just’ the cleaner etc implies some level of inferiority and would have negative impacts on children whose families are part of the cleaning profession.…

As described by the author in the development of the story, every athlete has a genetic limitation that regular training cannot exceed (421:4). According to Shermer, the only thing to be done is to dope. Arguing that, in order for an individual to stay competitive nowadays, he needs to make use of performance enhancing substances. Shermer concludes that today’s drugs are better, harder to test, and the incentives usually favor them (421:8/422:9). The author effectively argues that there should be a direct shift on the incentives regarding sports doping. His experience read as a reflective narrative to young competitors who are now starting,…
