    I am a Competitor now and forever.

    What is the dictionary definition of a Competitor? How does this compare with your definition of a Competitor?

    When I was coaching we had a cartoon on the coaches’ office window that epitomized my view of a competitor. There was a frog inside the mouth of a pelican with one hand around the pelican’s neck. The caption read, “Don’t ever give up!”
    Name one athlete or coach who fits your definition of a competitor.
