We try to answer, in our work, basically three questions: what moves the athlete when practicing a sport? Which are the meanings and motivations for the practice of sports? At what measure the athlete s experience gains an educational character? Sport is debated in this work as an extension of the living, as long as it tries to understand the meanings inherent to sport itself as well as to the sportive experience as a kind of education. In support of our argument, we give a theoretic and philosophical approach to our thesis, based on thinkers like Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Walter Benjamin, Marcel Mauss and Friedrich Schiller. For this purpose, we get support on the phenomenology of the French philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty. Our reference is the living world of the athlete and his experience as a field of the sensible. Our point of departure is the analysis of the narratives of sport experiences, including five aesthetic elements; time and space of the body in the sports courts; the look on the sportive context; the contact with the adversary; victory and defeat; the technical gesture. Besides it, we worked out an aesthetic evaluation of the movies Olympia and Invictus , what let us discuss three thematic categories: sensibility, emotions and the play paradox. Subsequently, we point sport as an optimizer of the sensible education, present on the body s processes, like the body in movement. It was also made clear along this paper that we tried to accomplish an analysis on sports centered in the athlete s body as an outfit of the senses to things related to the sensible, whose aesthetic experience overpasses any deterministic conception that should sum up the sportive world to mercantilization, discipline practices and mechanicism. This approach franchises gateways to a Physical Education which, containing sports as one of its support, let pupils enjoy the pleasure of constructing common objectives, incorporating the capacity of replicating, re-making and playing as a field of possibilities offered by an education characterized as being moving, sensible and fitful to a body in movement / Este trabalho trata do esporte como possibilidade de viv?ncia do sens?vel e defende a tese de que a pr?tica esportiva ? uma experi?ncia est?tica e educativa, em que se opera o sens?vel pelas sensa??es reverberadas no corpo do atleta, na dimens?o do vivido. Buscamos responder nesta pesquisa as seguintes quest?es: O que sensibiliza o atleta na viv?ncia do esporte? Quais s?o os sentidos e os significados vividos no esporte que fazem o atleta vivenciar essa pr?tica? Como a experi?ncia do atleta pode ser pensada como educa??o? Objetivamos discutir o esporte a partir da dimens?o do vivido, buscando compreender os significados conferidos ? pr?tica esportiva e ? experi?ncia est?tica do atleta como educa??o. Para tra?armos essa argumenta??o, o enfoque da tese ? de natureza te?rico-filos?fica, pautada em pensamentos como os de Merleau-Ponty, Walter Benjamin, Marcel Mauss e Friedrich Schiller. Para tal, apoiamo-nos na fenomenologia do fil?sofo franc?s Maurice Merleau-Ponty, tendo como refer?ncia o mundo vivido do atleta e a experi?ncia da pr?tica esportiva como campo do sens?vel. Iniciamos a reflex?o com a narrativa de experi?ncias esportivas, a partir de cinco elementos est?ticos: tempoespa?o do corpo em quadra, o olhar no contexto esportivo, o contato com o advers?rio, a vit?ria e a derrota e o gesto t?cnico. Junto a isso, fizemos uma aprecia??o est?tica dos filmes Olympia e Invictus , por meio dos quais discutimos tr?s categorias tem?ticas: a sensibilidade, as emo??es e o paradoxo do jogo. Posteriormente, apresentamos o esporte como potencializador de uma educa??o sens?vel, manifesta nos processos corporais, do corpo em movimento. Conforme ficou evidenciado ao longo deste estudo, buscamos o alcance de uma reflex?o sobre o esporte centrada no corpo do atleta como abertura ampla dos sentidos para as coisas do sens?vel, cujo viver est?tico transp?e qualquer concep??o determinista, que resuma o mundo esportivo ? mercantiliza??o, ? disciplinariza??o e ao mecanicismo. Esse entendimento aponta caminhos para a Educa??o F?sica, que, tendo como um dos conte?dos o esporte, pode permitir aos alunos o prazer de participar dos gestos constru?dos, coletivamente, por todos que se colocam em jogo, incorporando a capacidade do repetir, do refazer e do brincar como campo de possibilidades de uma educa??o que ? m?vel, sens?vel e se inscreve no corpo em movimento
