Abstract:

 The connection between Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of the Republic of Turkey and the leader of the Turkish Nation, and sports in todays Turkey is only attempted to be realized by naming sports halls, stadiums and other facilities after him. Therefore, it is obvious that all Turkish sports people, especially athletes, do not have enough knowledge and awareness about the reflection of his sports views and his outlook on life on sports. The main purpose of the study is to synthesize Atatürks views on sports and his outlook on life and to offer a different approach to the subject of Atatürk and Sports. Another purpose of the research is to assist those who manage sports organizations in Turkey in implementing Atatürks understanding of Physical Education and Sports in sports environments, considering the intellectual wealth, knowledge and scientific accumulation, life experiences and broad horizons of todays Turkish people, despite the 86 years that have passed since his death. This research was conducted using the literature review method and question and answer technique. First, the literature on the subject was scanned and then the information obtained was accepted as an answer and appropriate questions were created for them. In line with the information obtained, it is estimated that Atatürks view on sports and his understandings adapted to sports will shed light on the solution of many current sports problems and the invention of new methods.

 Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Devletinin kurucusu ve Türk Milletinin önderi olan Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürkün günümüz Türkiyesinde spor ile kurulan bağlantısı sadece spor salonlarına, stadyumlara ve diğer başka tesislere isminin verilmesi ile gerçekleştirilmeye çalışılmaktadır. Bu nedenle kendisinin spor görüşleri ve hayata olan bakışının spora yansıması üzerine başta sporcular olmak üzere tüm Türk spor insanlarının yeterince bilgi ve bilinç sahibi olmadığı açıkça bellidir. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın temel amacı, Atatürkün spor ile ilgili görüşlerini ve hayata olan bakışını sentezleyip Atatürk ve Spor konusuna farklı bir yaklaşım sunmaktadır. Bu temel amaç doğrultusunda, Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürkün devlet ve toplum yönetimi, insan yetiştirmek ve geliştirmek, kurumların oluşturulması ve geliştirilmesi, ahlaki ve etik değerler bakımından Türk spor insanları tarafından anlaşılmasına katkı sağlamak da amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmanın bir başka amacı, ölümünün üzerinden 86 yıl geçmesine rağmen günümüzdeki Türk insanının zihinsel zenginliği, bilgi ve bilim birikimi, hayat ile ilgili deneyimleri ve ufuk genişliği dikkate alınarak Atatürkün Beden Eğitimi ve Spor anlayışının spor ortamlarında uygulanması konusunda Türkiyede spor kuruluşlarını yönetenlere yardımcı olmaktır. Bu araştırma, literatür tarama yöntemi ve soru cevap tekniği ile yapılmıştır. Önce konu ile ilgili literatür taranmış ve daha sonra elde edilen bilgiler cevap olarak kabul edilip onlara uygun sorular oluşturulmuştur. Bu metodoloji uygulanırken öncelikle Mustafa Kemal Atatürkün kişiliği ve hayata bakışı araştırılmıştır. Daha sonra Atatürkün doğrudan spor ile ilgili görüşlerine yer verilmiştir. Devamında hayatın diğer alanlarına ait bazı görüşlerinin spora uyarlanması yapılmıştır. Elde edilen bilgiler doğrultusunda, Atatürkün spora bakışı ve spora uyarlanan anlayışlarının günümüzdeki pek çok sportif sorunun çözümlenmesine ve yeni yöntemlerin icat edilmesine ışık tutacağı tahmin edilmektedir.
