When coaches find themselves and

problematic, ethically challenging
situations, the coaches with phronesis will
not appeal to predetermined universal rule
for the right actions. Instead, they will
approach the situation with the sound
balance between universal principles and
the particular characteristics of the
situation.
(Pg. 50, 5th para., Hardman & Jones)
