It was bedtime for our boys. Instead of sleeping peacefully, when my husband and I peered into their bedroom they were playing an imaginary game of baseball. It could have been the World Series considering their exuberance. Tommy, who is three, was excitedly jumping up and down on his bed, a baseball in hand yelling, "Oh, yeah, oh yeah! Jack, we won the game! We won the game, Jack! Yeah, baby!" My husband gives me a knowing look and says, "Jack, Tom. We get it. We know the feeling."
Ah, what a sweet feeling to win. It is not the presuppose why we compete, but it is true delight to clinch the victory. It is not the message that we have taught our boys. On the contrary, we are always emphasizing cooperation, participation and teamwork. I can hear myself commenting after a youth soccer game, "It doesn't matter who won the game. Lowest line: did everyone have fun?" Regardless of how often I repeat these words, the reality is that we can't help but appreciate the excitement that our youngsters show toward sport and competition.

A pro cyclist once told me a story about a friend of hers who lacked huge aspirations. "I don't know why you'd go through all that pain, "the friend said to the pro cyclist one day, "why you would want to be a pro cyclist, all the traveling, and physical pain that you have to withstand. Why is it? I can't dream what it's worth." The pro cyclist's instinctive response was, "Have you ever won anything?" She went on to clarify to her friend that all of the difficult times in her work have been worth the good times.
Another pro cyclist, who is now retired, gave me her thoughts on competitiveness, "Some of it is the endorphin rush. I felt good after I did a hard effort, and did well in a race. When I raced I was happy about cycling. I loved the sport, atmosphere, intensity, and competitiveness. I had my bad days that I hated the bike. But the love for all of the the other aspects was overwhelming. I had this rush going, and I wanted to race. I wanted to be a part of it. I don't know any good way to report it. It was approximately like, one of my traditional needs became riding. I needed food, sleep, and I needed to ride my bike. I felt that. I nothing else but couldn't live without it."
Which mind set are you? The second example, makes it clear that competitiveness is not solely about winning. It is about passion. A passion for excelling, exceeding, persevering and achieving. It doesn't have to be against someone. It is the passion to be the best that you can be, and not be satisfied with anyone less. Whichever your mindset, competitiveness can be a sure part of cycling, and your life.
