Competition (Example Post)

For my post, I am going to write about my experience with one of the values Althen mentions in his article: Competition.

I definitely agree that I am a competitive person and that the value of competition plays a big part in who I am. I often find myself comparing myself to others, especially when it comes to sports. I have played and coached sports for nearly my whole life.

Since college, my main sport has been rugby, which I started playing 15 years ago. In this picture, I am practicing tackling (with my husband 😁). Although rugby does bring out a very competitive side in me, I don’t completely agree with Althen that the main point of American competitiveness is to maintain superiority and separateness from others. Actually, I find that I use sports as a way to find people who have the same interests as me. Of course winning feels good, but I think the most important lessons I learn from sports are teamwork, sportsmanship, and community-building.

This was my example blog post for the first blog post in RW3. For those of you in my class, I look forward to reading your posts!
