There’s something about our human nature that enjoys being competitive. It is built within us and almost mimics primitive behavior. We seem to have this inner desire to be the “top dog” — doing things quicker and smarter. It is sort of like self-preservation. We desire to go the distance through all hardships and never stop.
This nature is very profound in athletes but we all have it to some degree. We are naturally competitive and sometimes even with ourselves.
In sports, we usually always are supportive of a person or team even if we don’t like sports or never participate in them. Sports have been around for about as long as mankind. And, we always want to be winners.
It’s funny to see people who are typically quiet and in self-control go crazy and lose it at the stock car races. We typically have no control over it. Even the most timid of us will cheer the success of those who are able to run, ski, kayak, swim, row, guide horses, or cycle faster than we are able to. We seem to still want to be the strongest, healthiest, and quickest. And, if we cannot be that then we love to support those who can be.
It is all...
