#798: Competition

Boys love to wrestle. They love testing their skill and strength against other kids. As they compete, they experience the thrill of victory . . . and—sometimes—the agony of defeat.

Victory isn’t guaranteed—but that’s okay. Boys compete for more than just a ribbon. They love the challenge and excitement competition brings.

Boys desperately need this. Too often the only thing they wrestle . . . is boredom. They sit on the couch and stare at their phones. This isn’t physically, mentally, or spiritually healthy.

Instead, boys grow by being challenged. And as they compete, they develop important character traits needed for future success.
