Document Summary
13: some reflections on success and failure in competitive athletics looks at the great and transporting moments in sport in order to see the relationship b/w competitors and incompatibility of competing and cheating. He says success doesn"t mean winning and failure doesn"t mean losing ex) moments of significance in a game, moments where the crowd is totally silent when the game is at its test, the turning points etc. But if the game reaches this intensity frequently, it is anti-climatic and the victory tends to be reduced. Must generate worthy opponents, opponents who can generate intensity in competition. ** importance on winning has changed this idea, obscured the idea of (cid:498)worthy opponents(cid:499) This provides opportunities for self-discovery, which may have been missed, being able to be carried away by the demands of the contest, for intensity of involvement etc. = greater success in competitive athletics than winning to an unworthy opponent.
