Sport and Competition

From schoolyard chants to Super Bowl championships, playful competition finds its way into nearly all aspects of culture. Fighting to win draws on cooperation, concentration, coordination, and creativity--things worth striving for in their own right. That's why sports are more than just fun and games.

Here we offer commentary on what leads to greatness (whether on the playing field or the chess board), why we care who wins, and how to achieve your personal best. On your marks!
