Why Competition Helps
Soccer is a very competitive sport. And only the best will be able to keep moving up the ladder as the level of competition rises.
If you are fortunate enough to be chasing a dream, don’t waste your time--Get to work. You will beat 50% of your competition simply by showing up. Then, the other 40% you will beat by improving your technique and craft. However, the last 10% is just a straight up fight!
No matter what level you’re currently playing in or what dreams you’re currently working toward, there will always be someone who wants the same thing.
In soccer, you will face 3 types of competition:
- Inside competition: This one is against your teammates for a place on the rosters, playing time and starting position.
- Outside competition: Competing against players from other teams who can potentially take your spot on that better team, college or professional team that you’re aiming to play for.
- Yourself! This is the most important one. Make sure to always be better than you were the day before. Don’t compare yourself with another player. Just try to beat yourself.
You should never be looking at competition to win or lose--but instead to help you to reach new heights, bringing out the best in yourself and making you better overall!
