I wonder if Sports/martial arts and any number of other things don't build character, nor reveal it, but simply provide people with potential character building experiences. You have no opportunity to succeed, nor fail while sitting in front of a tv set. In tournament you are going to be forced to deal with one of the two. How you deal with it, and how the people around you react/re-enforce how you dealt with it is where the character building begins. Perhaps they can be considered character building experiences.. in that in the end you will either have built good characteristics or bad ones...jcphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634965215700887428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192186541955038172.post-28647078015477558602012-05-30T11:37:20.666-07:002012-05-30T11:37:20.666-07:00I think that competition is healthy, however there...I think that competition is healthy, however there is a certain level that becomes harmful. I once heard someone say, and I'm paraphrasing here "the truly competitive have no friends" It's okay to want to win, but to want to win at all costs can be damaging, especially after the competition is over.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192186541955038172.post-7807094446542436652012-05-29T23:02:44.282-07:002012-05-29T23:02:44.282-07:00Interesting post, I just starting reading The mos...Interesting post, I just starting reading The most Expensive game in town by Mark Hyman. The expenses that parents endure are extreme. I agree with you when you said there are Some really, really good people Some unmitigated bastards And a whole lot of people in between. I do not have children, and hated most of my AYSO soccer experience as a child. Based on a lot of what you said. Is it the inherit nature of competition? Does it bring out the worst in people?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192186541955038172.post-7206364693535962032012-05-29T12:08:38.234-07:002012-05-29T12:08:38.234-07:00Wins and losses come a dime a dozen.

Yes, you, as an athlete need to decide to train versus party every day, give up possible promotions, graduate school etc. that will take time away from training.<br /><br />On the other hand, anyone who begins a sport as a child has probably been driven to practices and games for a total of thousands of hours, had thousands of hours of coaching and thousands of dollars spent on his or her training.Dr. AnnMariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13741371839260099343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192186541955038172.post-57305982605470864582012-05-29T09:40:51.651-07:002012-05-29T09:40:51.651-07:00Great quote from John Wooden and great quotes from...Great quote from John Wooden and great quotes from your grandma :) I agree with them all. And I love your spot on observation about the people you see around you. As far as many, many people sacrificing for one person to achieve success…probably the norm but not a "Truth". In my experience, it is more the choices and trade-offs made by the individual…which, yes, do affect others, but I personally wouldn't consider them sacrifices by those others.<br /><br />Great post.XLMIChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12268964638359962511noreply@blogger.com
