The Definitive Guide to Youth Athletic Strength, Conditioning and Performance (Hardcover)

That way we could get a second opportunity to compete with our opponents, ...a rematch As we evolved, we began to train athletes, often choosing younger and more agile competitors for contests. Humankind has never lost the desire to compete for supremacy, and athletics remains a relatively safe activity in which we compete for bragging rights. While winning is always gratifying, it is not the only satisfactory outcome.
