“The weird thing about rap is that you don't get compared in the same way that athletes do, even though it's probably the most competitive sport in music. In basketball, they look at a player and say: 'This guy was the best in his prime at this sport.' But in rap it's not until you're dead or retired that people think about it like that.” PeopleThinkingWayLooksGuySportsPlayerBasketballAthleteRapPrimeThis GuyRetiredWeird ThingsCompetitive Sports Author:Chance the Rapper
“It is quite easy to debase the sport, change its values, dilute its ethics and destroy its traditional associations with quietness, relaxation and the opportunity to think. Angling is not a competitive sport. The fisherman'- s only real competition is with his quarry and his only real challenge is the challenge to himself. Nothing can add to this, but the blight of interhuman competition can certainly detract from it.” ThinkingRealValuesOpportunityEasySportsChallengesSeaEthicsRiversAddCompetitionFishesTraditionalBoatLakesFishingAssociationRelaxationFishermanQuietnessAnglingBlightQuarryCompetitive Sports Author:Roderick Haig-Brown

“The shift from the perception of the child as innocent to the perception of the child as competent has greatly increased the demands on contemporary children for maturity, for participating in competitive sports, for early academic achievement, and for protecting themselves against adults who might do them harm. While children might be able to cope with any one of those demands taken singly, taken together they often exceed children's adaptive capacity.” ChildrenMightAbleTogetherSportsTakenDemandAchievementPerceptionAdultsCapacityHarmContemporaryInnocentMaturityAcademicExceedCompetentParticipatingAdaptiveAcademic AchievementCompetitive Sports Author:David Elkind
“You cannot have that attitude of where I am going to tuck my tail between my legs and go home. You have to keep going back for more. That's why cycling is a very competitive sport.
