Striving toward reducing destructive conflict and promoting the positive aspects of sports is vital in today's world. Sports and athletic competition provide a setting where conflicted people, parties and individuals can come together with one unified goal. In addition, I believe sports provides the ideal setting to disseminate conflict resolution skills because conflict (be it positive or negative) can be inherent on most sports activities.
