ABSTRACT
This chapter highlights that sport remains not only a top-down model, driven by adults and imposed on children, but that it also reproduces itself in its current form. A more inclusive approach to the governance of sport would see the involvement of children in decision-making about children's sport, women in decision-making about their sport, and a more diverse system of representation within sport governance. Often children are not given the opportunity to consent in relation to their participation in sport. Interestingly, the consent debate in sport is somewhat paradoxical, depending on what adults want at that given time. The chapter presents a case study of Bryan's story to show a disconnect between Bryan and the teacher in terms of what they perceive should be part of the physical education (PE) curriculum; something that is mandatory in both the United Kingdom (UK) and the United States.
