Sport szansą społecznego rozwoju człowieka

The aim of the article is to present life realities found in the world of sport, principles which are prevailing there and the areas of activity which are conducive to the social development of competitors and all the persons who belong to sports environment. Examinations, which were undertaken using the method of the qualitative analysis of the text together with the interpretation, let meet the social dimension of sport, which is expressed among others in kindliness among persons, teams and societies, in submission to fair play, in objective assessment of oneself and others, in avoidance of antisocial behaviour. It is necessary to always ask about the sports education; whether it is only increasing the physical strength of a man and whether the concern for the mental and spiritual spheres development should not be there too.
