To obtain information concerning the existence of such factors, an investigation was undertaken concerning player-coach compatibility and its role in cutting students from athletic squads.

The FIRO theory, developed by Schutz, is based on the …

An Historical Analysis Of Motivations And Contributions Attributed To Selected Medical Doctors In Physical Education, Robert W. Pearson

Health, Exercise, and Sports Sciences ETDs

A study of the history of physical education in the United States indicated that a common denominator existed in the historical vitae of many of the early leaders. The intriguing facet was that many of these leaders were medical doctors, a point which stimulated further study. The history of a subject helps to illuminate past events, gives depth, breadth, and can add greater perspec­tive to present events. It was hoped that a study of this nature would recognize various unique contributions of early leaders and provide a springboard for future historical studies. This chronicle of the medical back­grounds and contributions …
