The
word compete comes
from the Latin root word competere, which means to strive
together.
Your
competition is not the enemy – they are your growth partners and you
are striving together to make on another better.
You
want your teammates and your competition to be his or her best so they
challenge you more so you’ll be pushed to be at your best.
As
a coach, be careful about how you approach competition because you don’t want
to pit players against one another to the point where teammates have
dysfunctional relationships by trying to defeat and establish superiority over
each other.
Change
the opponent by redefining what competition is.
Competition: a
partnership to challenge each other.
Instead
of being fueled by negative energy (fear that the other is going to be better)
be fueled by positive energy knowing your competition is helping you be your
best and knowing that your competition is your growth partner.
