Description: How do Olympic athletes define success in sport? Through interviews with 10 Olympic athletes whose participation in the Olympic Games ranged from 1976 to 2004, I examine the motivations and perceptions of these athletes, and evaluate the role played by ethical behavior in their definitions of success. I present a model for high quality, socially responsible work in Olympic sports, built upon 3 lines of research: the GoodWork® Project‘s (Gardner, Csikszentmihalyi, and Damon, 2001, 2006) models of “good work,” field, and domain; Takács‘s (1992) model of ethics in Olympic sports; and Sullivan‘s (2005) and Freidson‘s (2001) models of professionalism, bureaucracy, and markets.
