Competition provides feedback that we can evaluate in terms of behavioural, psychological, social outcomes and can offer a rich learning environment for kids to express and develop physical skills and personal attributes. A competitive environment is perfect for developing your skills because it pushes you to always give your best.
In an age of social media and growing individualism, time spent interacting and communicating with others is reducing. However, our ability to work with others to achieve a common goal is an essential skill to develop, not only in sport but in life. Competition allows children to learn patterns of social cooperation without exceeding critical limits of aggression. With appropriate instruction, competition encourages children to reflect on their behaviour under emotionally intense situation and develop strong emotional intelligence, accordingly.
Control and competence are correlated — when you feel in control of your emotions, your preference to work hard and take on new challenge to learn increases. Time and again, to win the game, or gain the supremacy, requires thinking outside of the box.
Competition urges children to challenges their status quo and try new things, which improves their creativity and problem solving skills. A winning at all costs attitude can easily manifest into aggressive behaviours, a loss of sportsmanship, and ultimately, cheating.
When a child perceives a lack of competence, or are no longer able to satisfactory demonstrate achievements, they lose the motivation to continue and look for other activities to draw pleasure from. Intensity peaks during competition. When a child is underprepared physically, or is competing too much for their growing body to handle, their likelihood of injury goes up dramatically. Competitive experiences can be perceived as threatening. The success of one child or team causes the failure of another.
This is more likely to happen when success is measured solely on the competition outcome. Because competition can deliver both positive and negative experiences depending on the environment or situation to your child, the question is: how can you help your child choose the best available options?
We are at our best when in pursuit of a great goal or challenge, one that is just outside our reach and excites us to reach inside ourselves and grow. Competition that is too easy is boring and causes motivation to suffer, while a competitive challenge well outside our reach can be overwhelming. The competitive environment is critical.
Choose environments that focus on self-reflection and mastery rather than winning , expert assistance rather than instruction, and inquisition rather than close-mindedness. To sum up, competitive environments are a big part of the sporting experience, yet they can impact development in both positive and negative ways.

Innovation - competitiveness - growth: the virtuous circle of competition Competition means constant stimulation For established companies, economic competition is an incentive to keep innovating and improve their productivity so they remain efficient and effective and can stay in the race to continue attracting consumers.
Competition policy as a safeguard against deviant behaviour Fighting anticompetitive practices is not just a boon to consumers. New economic models: an opportunity for our economy Competition ensures market access for both businesses and consumers In most sectors, opening up or strengthening competition, with the rapid emergence of new players, leads to a significant reduction in the prices offered to consumers.
Opening up coach transport: positive effects on growth and jobs The opening up of passenger coach transport in France is a good example of how this works.
New demand emerged from people who are more sensitive to price than to travel time, such as young people and the elderly. This growth in demand stimulated the economy upstream — for example in coach construction and driver training — but also downstream through spillover effects in the catering, accommodation and tourism sectors, etc.
In a nutshell, it led to growth and employment. Revitalization of existing players The price reduction brought about by competition is not limited solely to new entrants but extends to the whole market. Low-cost flights: the model that revolutionised a whole sector The emergence in a sector of a new business model reshuffles the pack and prompts incumbents to review their strategies.
The arrival of a low-cost offer within a market generally encourages traditional players to reposition their offer either on premium or on low cost: for example, in the aviation sector, the arrival of EasyJet and Ryanair prompted Air France to launch the Transavia and Hop brands to complete its range.
