We welcomed and have learned from the opportunity to read and respond to the seven chapters in this monograph, although neither of us is a physical education practitioner or researcher. Both of us were competitive athletes-Heather, a Golden Gloves boxer and now a boxing coach, and Steve, a college football player and wrestler-and one of us is the child of a physical education teacher. Both of us are philosophers of education by training, versed in a Western philosophic tradition with strong roots in Classical Athenian educational values that integrate body, mind, and spirit.
