Competitive Play

Competition is:

Fun

Competition is fun, educational, and life relevant.

For players in technical development (skill acquisition)

Competition is the test for skill ownership – own it, or more focused practice to own it.

– In the developmental phase, too much competition can retard skill acquisition.

For players not in technical development

Competitive savvy is an ability that players need to acquire, through competition, which is done best by competing with a variety of players and play styles.
