Competition, Good or Bad?
To some, competition is regarded as natural, healthy, and essential for building character. To others, competition is regarded as harmful, psychologically injurious, and detrimental to cooperative activity.
Competition can be both productive and counterproductive and that it’s the adults who can determine what effects competition can have on a child. With the young athlete, the emphasis must be on fun, encouragement, and building on success. A coach said, "Winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing!" He retracted this statement shortly before he died, saying that he meant putting forth the effort necessary to win was important, not stamping out values and morality in order to win.
Unfortunately, many adults still have this attitude and are passing it on to children at a high expense. In interviewing several young athletes, the top reasons for participation in sports are to have fun, make friends and stay in shape. Winning was near the bottom. What many coaches don’t realize is that if they make developing relationships and meeting emotional needs of their athletes a top priority, winning will be much more likely to occur.
Despite beliefs that competitive sport is harmful to children, one thing is very clear: Competition is a big part of our children’s lives, and it’s here to stay for a long time. With that in mind, whether we like it or not, we have to make the most of it to create positive experiences for our children.

The Importance of Competition
Competition can be both advantageous and disadvantageous; this is particularly true with young athletes. On the one hand, adults demand victory regardless of these athletes’ wishes for enjoyment in sports, which can be harmful to their character building. On the other hand, competition is inevitable. By making good use of it, these athletes can achieve their full potential. As for us, I believe competition is also of great significance.
First of all, competition is a powerful force to urge people to excel themselves. Without competition, there will be no challenge for us and we will not test our limit or even go beyond it. If, in a sport game, two or more persons are in a competition, athletes have to bring their A game to outplay the opponent. If, unfortunately, one loses the game, he must set his heart and mind to get better to win the next competition. In this way, the athletes are driven to improve themselves. Secondly, competition is a catalyst to boost innovation. For example, in the Silicon Valley, many new technological applications are released on a daily basis. Subject to the competitive industry environment, they have to come up with new, distinctive and unique idea to survive. Owing to this, we are enjoying many benefits brought by their cutting-edge design and invention, which resulted from competition.
In conclusion, competition is important for us in that it makes us get better and brings us countless innovations.
