Message: [QUOTE="DirtFamily, post: 255702, member: 27378"] well.....I have a black belt a karate and even got to compete in the Nationals....and now I ride a dirt bike...altho I don't compete or race....yet. My .02: 1. It doesn't matter WHAT sport you compete in, if you compete it takes dedication, tenacity, courage, patience, and lots and lots of hard work. 2. Being a part of ANY competion will teach you sportsmanship. You will understand what it is to whole-heartedly and sincerely congratulate the person/people who beat you. And then go out and practice some more... 3. Being a participant in ANY sport will provide you with an invaluable experience in being part of a team. Your fellow competitors (whether or not you are actually a "team") will help you, pat you on the back, encourage you, suffer with you, hug you, cry with you, yell at you, etc.....there is no better feeling than being a part of a team.
