Laker presents a far-ranging thesis– that physical education has an important role to play in constructing society, that is has the potential to help produce socially responsible citizens capable of making thoughtful, rational decisions, and that it can be an agent for the complete development of the individual, if it goes beyond the boundaries of skill aquisition and performance.
His work on personal responsibility and citizenship, including spirituality, morality and commmunity involvement, is significant. Overall Laker provides a sound rationale for his thesis, and physical educators are encouraged to accept this new approach. This is a must read for all student and praticing professionals in this field.
