Competition with Grandma and the Saints
Aicinena, Steven
Online Submission
Competition often reveals the ugly side of being human. Many athletes seek glory through competition and their competitive behaviors often reflect prideful and dishonorable intentions. Educators should view sport as a context in which valuable lessons for life may be taught. The truly satisfying athletic experience is not achieved through victory alone. It is achieved when individuals skillfully compete while exhibiting humility and honor. It is the responsibility of educators to actively teach more than skills and strategy in sport. They must convey to their charges that competing with honor and humility provides satisfaction in all of life's competitions.
