Yes I do. The dancers I know are usually in better shape than the football players I know...... Dancing is a strenuous aerobic activity that is HIGHLY competitive.

Well, there just so happens to be something called self betterment. Self betterment, can be attained through many ways, mainly, winning, but not necessarily winning against another opponent, you could be winning against yourself. Also, what do you define as winning? Does a soccer player win any less than you when he scores a point because he doesn't beat anybody up? Nah, he won against himself and he won against the other team trying to stop him, that is his sport, his realm, his personal domain where he fits. My niche is judo, i love fighting, but not for the simple fact of hurting people, which is why i love judo, i am fighting yet i can fight as hard as i want, and the better i do actually the less people get hurt. I love the competition, so does the soccer player, and maybe when you get right down to it, so do you, but your definition of winning might be a little harsher than the champion ping pong player's. I know people that do karate, and most of them know that karate is the next best thing to trying to defend yourself with a wet sponge, but in many pure forms of karate out of japan, there is amazing technique and skill involved in everything they do. Much like dancing, a karate kid is trying to make his kata be perfect, same as a ballarena is trying to get that pirouet timing flawless, it's just that ballarenas train harder. I'm sure that if a karate kid wanted to learn how to hurt someone, he could very easily go and learn, it's stupidly simple to hurt or kill someone, which is why i like it where i can fight and everybody can go home and still be in one piece and there be no hate towards me because i removed someones jaw. So yeah, we are all training to win, it is just the definition of winning that you are having trouble comprehending.

I "draw the line" where success depends on the participant being in better physical condition than the opponent or not.  Thus, NASCAR is a sport, board games not.  Juggling?  Well, you could make an argument that conditioning is a factor, but geez...

I think sports has bad and good quality outcomes.  You can have kids who participate and become violent, competitive and agressive.  On the other hand you can get kids who learn how to work well in groups, encourage others and learn how to fail, as well as learn how to work hard to achieve.

As a coach I have gotten in the water and swam behind swimmers that need a little extra motivation.  I also encourage all of my swimmers and regularly meet on a one on one basis, set goal, monitor improvement, evaluate performance and help them work though challenges.  I have also been know to have fun practices either when the team needs a break or as a reward if everyone is doing well.

Depends.  A lot of great baseball players also have a good golf game.  Some people who are not very athletic may have trouble.

It's okay. Just be sure to give your effort.  Even the greatest athletes are only good in one or two sports. If you want to become good at a particular sport..try sport specific exercises.  Being okay at a sport is not bad.

No, sport is a direct competition of fastest, strongest, and other physical activities. Not who can lie the best, not who looks the prettiest as in other sports. Sport should have to be something that you sweat for.

Well, while most are abusing. I think it's an awesome sport. It takes a lot of skill to stay on beat and land everything perfectly. It's really cool to watch and I only wish I possesed the skill necessary to play such a sport.

When discipline is present, it is evident. It is the precise control of every aspect of one's self, mental and physical. It is the bedrock of success. ...
