Integration of Values and Skills

Correct answer: A. Because skill without values can go in the wrong direction

The governing concept is holistic physical education: competence must be joined with ethical conduct. A learner may possess excellent speed, strength, or technical ability, but those skills become educationally incomplete if the learner cheats, harms opponents, ignores rules, or refuses responsibility. Values such as fairness, respect, self-control, and cooperation guide the proper use of skill in practice and competition. Thus option A is correct: skill without values can be directed toward selfish or harmful behaviour. Option B is wrong because values usually guide and improve performance rather than always stopping it. C denies the clear connection between conduct and skill, while D wrongly reduces values to theory instead of lived behaviour.
