Lucas and Jacob, friends and teammates, benefiting from
some friendly competition
One of the most admirable things about the CFSC community
is the support and encouragement we give to each other.
Whether its cheering someone on as they get their first
kipping pull-up, congratulating a new PR by posting online or
an unitelligible grunt or labored smile as we pass one other
during a 400 meter run. Within and among this support lies
the space for friendly competition. During a workout, we may
find ourselves pushing hard to keep up with/pass someone
or to maintain a lead and finish the workout first. The person
we cheered on earlier in the class for getting their first muscle up
suddenly becomes our main focus of competition... the person
we want to beat. Sometimes that person is someone else...
sometimes it is ourselves.
Competition can be a very motivating factor in boosting
intensity during workouts.
What do you think? Does competition motivate you?
