Hello everyone- Girl Jitsu has an interesting article (it mentions a study that was performed, so of course it caught my interest) on competitiveness. The take away from the article is to focus more on the competition itself, and less on the results- a sentiment I whole heartedly agree with. Your focus in competition should be performing well, not whether or not you will end up on the awards podium.
Anyway, check it out, let me know what you think- otherwise, have a great day!
