Abstract

Efforts to analyze athletes’ training processes through a Foucauldian lens have been ongoing long before recent events. Various monitoring methods have been utilized in elite sports to manage and control athletes during their practice routines, as extensively chronicled. In our modern societal landscape, characterized by a transition from a disciplined society to a controlling society, and ultimately into a performance society and management society, a notable incident involving player scrutiny in a prestigious professional baseball organization prompts a pertinent inquiry: “Has the disciplined society truly reached its endpoint?”.
