I think watching multi-events is much worse than competing. Especially when you have vested interests because you go through the emotional ups and downs.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't want to think of life after competing. But if I were to do anything else I'd go down the psychology route. That's what interests me.
Many of us enjoy going to ball games and watching them on television. I am no exception. I love to watch a good athletic contest. If we spend excessive time with sporting events, however, we may neglect things that are much more important.
I don't like sports where it's like, you watch a guy on a motorcycle flip or something, then another guy does it, it looks exactly the same, and then at the end one guy gets higher points! It seems so arbitrary; I don't know who's ahead ever.
I think one of the big issues with, you know, people who have strong faith in addition to competing is that conflict between accepting things the way they are, and wanting to compete and get better, and at what point are you in the right balance.
Sports is a bunch of people gathering around, watching something that they're not actually connected to - they're just emotionally connected.
Life is not a spectator sport. If you're going to spend your whole life in the grandstand just watching what goes on, in my opinion you're wasting your life.
I've been an athlete and competitor my whole life, and there's nothing more that I get off on than competition.
I love competition and really going for it and doing my best, but losing isn't really upsetting to me. I feel like if I do lose, the other person really deserved it.
I don't like the idea of competition - maybe because I kept losing them when I was a kid. Maybe it's better to be the one who loses?
I think it's really important to look at the big picture instead of just one competition.
