Almost Time

Saturday is almost here. I can smell it. Competition. Its what drives me when I go to the weight room, on the diamond, in the classroom, and even a friendly game of horseshoes. Like many of you interested in sports its usually the competitiveness that's drives you to win. AND WIN EVERY TIME! "Win or go home," this is the saying in today's society when it comes to sports. It has been ingrained into us since day one. Its what makes us better than everyone else, the willingness never to give up no matter how far you're head.
I admit it, I love winning. Not saying am a sorry loser but a loss only drives me that much harder the next time. Without competition, I believe that this world would be very dull. Sports, wouldn't exist. People would fight to be the best. Advancements in pretty much any aspect of life would have never been found. This doesn't just go for the sports world its involves the corporate world as well. We need "period", end of story.
One more thing I really don't care for in this day and age. When parents tells their kids that, "Its not about winning or losing, its whether or not you had fun." What couldn't be more fun than winning. I mean seriously, getting beat or losing isn't that much fun in my opinion. But enough said on this issue. more to come in the future.

Saturday is the Life AsRx Open Crossfit Competition in Hartford, CT. That I'm competing in. Should be a wild time. Another insane competition going on this same weekend is the 2011 Reebok Crossfit Game. This event has come so far from when Crossfit first started out.  Good Luck to all the athletes competing.
