Competition Competition is a difficult word to define, primarily because it means different things to different people. For those in the business communi- ty, it may simply mean the conflict that two opposing parties may expe- rience in an effort to secure the busi- ness of a third party. Competition arises for students as we strive to attain higher grades or academic honors than those of our peers. With unemployment figures soaring, we realize that we will someday be forced to compete in the job mar- ket. Nevertheless, usually the first thing one ponders with the mention of the word competition, is sports. College sports and the competi- tion therein, plays such a large role in our college education that it would do well for each of us to un- derstand the competitive forms that college athletes encounter. Athletic competition can be described suc- cintly as a contest between rivals. Little debate exists as to whether or not competition can be positive, but it can adversely affect some athletes. Whereas intense competition causes some to perform at peak levels, oth- ers fail to cope with the competitive pressure, and are not able to dupli- cate the performances that they give when the pressure to win is mini- mized. Besides providing a challenge, competition allows the athlete to test his skills against others in an effort to determine which individual (or team) has achieved a better mas- tery of the specified skills. In college sports today, this testing of skills, termed a contest or game, often re- sembles a small scale war. As students who desire excellence from our athletic teams, possessing a win at all costs attitude surely is not the answer. Hopefully, college athletics will soon provide an envi- ronment where the way in which one competes supersedes the actual win- ning or losing.
