Among the areas of pedagogical reflection that in recent decades have taken a considerable space in contemporary debates, those concerning body, movement and sport represent a very important field as specific educational dis- positive, of which needs to be highlighted the educability conditions in order that sport can represent a life context declined towards subjects’ emancipation. Nowadays sport often conveys ideas and values that stray from best edu- cational practices, emphasizing narcissistic forms of sport performance that underlines the construction of a certain bodily identity in the social imagery. The aim of the paper is to reflect about these components, in order to propose possible educational tools in sport contexts that are harbingers of individual and social wellbeing for all involved subjects.
