These children often turn into adults who want to succeed so much that they lose sight of everything else.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Others rebel, pointing out the cruelty in this sort of society. In young people, this can manifest in a wish to fail. They don\u2019t care that they lost because, according to them, they didn\u2019t try. But even in this case, there\u2019s an understanding that if they <em>did<\/em><strong> <\/strong>try and lose, that would be a measure of their self-worth.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If we don\u2019t use competition to derive our self-worth, though, <strong>what kind of meaning should we be finding in competition and winning? And how can playing better help us in the broader scheme of our mental health?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This question is a difficult one\u2014after managing to decouple competition and his self-worth, Gallwey himself had trouble <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/finding-motivation\/\">finding motivation<\/a> to compete.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To begin to answer this complex question, find the value in challenges and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-overcome-obstacles\/\">overcoming obstacles<\/a>. The most accomplished someone can feel is when they have successfully used all of the skill, concentration, and general capability at their disposal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Winning is only valuable if it helps you achieve a meaningful goal. <\/strong>Find goals that force you to exert yourself, mentally or physically, and then attempt to overcome the obstacles necessary to get there.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Leaving Attachments Behind<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Most stress in modern life is caused by attachment\u2014Self 1 becomes so dependent on a job, a relationship, or an idea that when change does come it\u2019s threatening. Freedom from this stress is the recognition that we will be alright if we lose one of these things, so long as we continue to be able to live fairly comfortably.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, it\u2019s important to distinguish between what Self 2 needs to operate well and what <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/self-1-and-self-2\/\">Self 1<\/a> has internalized as a need. A lot of demands that you place on yourself are derived not necessarily from what you need but from what you\u2019ve been told somewhere along the way that you need.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a distinct difference between this and \u201cself-improvement\u201d\u2014everyone\u2019s Self 2 is fine as it is, we just need to listen to it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After all of this, readers may still be questioning what it means to win the Inner Game. The response is essentially impossible to give, although the question is important. It\u2019s impossible to give because the moment that we give an answer, Self 1 will see a goal that can be conquered. This will add to our stress. <strong>The only way to \u201cwin\u201d is for your Self 2 to be the only Self that knows when you\u2019re conquering the Inner Game.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are all reasons why sports are good for kids. Learning these lessons early can help kids succeed. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are there reasons why sports are good for kids?
