Abstract	This article draws on the works of Foucault to analyse how the philosophy of Olympism and the utilisation of constructivist pedagogies creates examples of governmentality and the technology of power (self) in action. The scholarly call for having Olympism education embedded in school physical education highlights how schools can perpetuate the production of docile bodies. The article emphasises how individuals, subscribing to mechanisms of power, which encourage individuals and collectives to lead particular forms of life, are dominated by self-regulation, self-control and self-discipline. The article concludes by arguing the convergence of Olympism and critical constructivism might mitigate against such dominant normalising attempts at governmentality and encourage learners to develop alternative visions in their quest for a flourishing life.
