Scott Kretchmar é uma figura fundamental na filosofia do esporte. Seu influente trabalho começou com seu primeiro artigo revisado por pares em 1972, e suas contribuições acadêmicas permanecem significativas, mesmo após sua aposentadoria. Em 1989, ele se tornou um dos primeiros filósofos do esporte a ser indicado para a Academia Nacional de Cinesiologia dos Estados Unidos, e sua carreira atingiu o ápice profissional com o Prêmio Clark W. Hetherington em 2021. Neste artigo, primeiro traçamos sua trajetória acadêmica e profissional. Em seguida, fazemos uma visão geral de suas principais contribuições acadêmicas, categorizando-as em quatro conjuntos centrais de preocupações inter-relacionadas de pesquisa: (a) a metafísica do jogar, os jogos, o esporte e a competição; (b) o papel da educação física; (c) a ética do esporte; e (d) a construção de significado e os aspectos espirituais do esporte. Embora não exaustiva, nossa análise destaca o papel fundamental de Kretchmar no estabelecimento e expansão da filosofia do esporte, sublinhando seu impacto duradouro.
