Competition In Sports Is The Best Way To Teach Life Lessons

Share This Resource

Anne Walker was named the Margot and Mitch Milias Director of Women’s Golf (@StanfordWGolf) in 2012, quickly establishing herself as one of the top college coaches in the country. She has guided the Cardinal to four consecutive NCAA Championships berths and captured the first national title in program history during the 2014-15 season.

Walker talks about how important it is for young athletes to learn by playing in competition. Parents are sometimes hesitant because they do not want to see their children fail, but that is a great lesson they should learn. Sometimes you try and you fail in life. What is important is that you get back up and keep improving until you succeed. This lesson is best taught through competition.
