Sports Lotteries
And The Student
University Park, Pa. - What
are the long range consequences
for children who fail in today's
sports lottery?
A terrific waste of talents that
could be better used, says Dr.
Carolyn W. Sherif, professor of
psychology at The Pennsylvania
State University, who spoke on
the effects of prolonged,
win-lose competition on the
human personality at a recent
national conference on Sports
and Social Deviancy. The
conference papers are being
published by Public Affairs
Press.
Sports in our society compose
a major value complex that male
children, in particular, encounter
at an early age, Dr. Sherif points
out. With her husband, Dr.
Muzafer Sherif, professor of
sociology at Penn State, Dr.
Sherif made extensive studies on
informal groups of adolescent
boys in the southwestern and
eastern United States. They
found only one group of
teenagers with no visible interest
in sports. They were sons of
recent immigrants from Mexico
of peasant origin.
"Many of those absorbed in
the sports complex," shenotes,
"devote major time and energy
as second and third string
players, water boys,
cheerleaders, or passive
onlookers. They might be
first-rate politicians, scientists,
mechanics, musicians, or
electronic technicians if society
offered as much support for
those goals as it does for the
compelling structure of
organized sports."
As a social psychologist, Dr.
Sherif points to the problems in
personal development for large
numbers of young people
created by sports goals.
"The aim is to win, thereby
utterly defeating the opponent,"
she comments. "This goal
structure is clear enough in both
organized team sports and in the
path the individual child must
take to succeed.
"The child who experiences
success at a level approved and
rewarded by significant adults
and peers is able to tolerate an
occasional failure, an 'off day',
recognizing it as such. But the
child whose persistent
experiences are defined as failure
suffers considerably from a
temporary drop with the
resulting disapproval from
persons significant in his or her
eyes. Over time, not only does
the level of aspiration set for
performance drop lower and
lower, but pretensions vanish
altogether. The child simply
stops trying."
While current sports goals can
be destructive to young white
males, their effect is even more
marked on two other categories
of American youth: blacks and
women.

tennis, sign up in W-154 or

Flickenger, 944-1996.

and Spring. Competion includes
colleges such as Millersville,
Shippensburg, etc. Register now

October 5,1972
"The tragedy for black youth
is that the goal structure of
sports provides the major if not
the only means for them to
improve their lot," Dr. Sherif
says. "Those who do not make
the fast-string or get courted for
scholarships or pro teams but
retain their devotion to the
sports complex are assigned to
perdition.
"For a successful black
athlete, sports can bring high self
esteem and a sense of
accomplishment, but these
feelings are often accompanied
by the denial of rights and
privileges that should be
available to any athlete of
attainment."
The girl who persists during
her adolescent years in
improving her skills in
"unfeminine" sports faces a
situation which is
psychologically similar to that of
the successful black athlete,
according to Dr. Sherif.
"By striving toward and
attaining a high level of
performance, she experiences
success in one respect but faces
failure in those spheres
traditionally defined as being
feminine. The result is that
many girls simply lose interest in
sports or try not to succeed too
well."
In Dr. Sherif% view, the
current emphasis on
interscholastic competion,
varsity sports, and
professionalism means that the
vast majority of children are
"doomed to be very small frogs
in enormous pools."
"Surely for the developing
human personality," she says,
"it is important to create pools
in which most children can have
the experince of growing, of
gaining because they are not
pressured into the constantly
rising aspiration level that
organized sports demands."
Not all societies that prize
physical activity and health
place such enormous value on
organized, competitive sports,
Dr. Sherif points out.
"To contend that the
prevailing structure of goals is
necessary, normal, or natural can
be countered even within the
sphere of sports and recreational
activities," she contends. "The
win -lose, beat everyone out for
the best slot complex may be
characteristic of much of
American life. But it is not true
in such sports activities as
mountain climbing, fishing,
jogging, back-packing, nature
hikes, many water sports,
modern and folk dancing, hand
ball and calisthenics, and a good
many others.
"More children need to
become involved ,actively in
sports and recreational activities
for both health and pleasure
instead of winding up feeling left
out and inadequate and
therefore unworthy of trying."
Dr. Sherif recommends that
personnel in charge of planning
sports and recreation activities,
especially for young children
and girls, innovate instead of
limiting the win-lose structure of
current school and professional
sports. Involvement and growth
arepossible, she concludes, if
participation in activities is
rewarded by goals in which all
can share rather than goals set
up to make losers of all but the
favored few.
