Special X

Special Olympics, what is exactly so special about them. They are designed for disabled and challenged children. For some very rewarding. Very exhilarating to actually feel a part of an Olympic experience, but for me I can't say this lightly sorry I HATE THEM! I was never keen in participating in the Olympic games for specially disabled children. With much persuading and a bit of nudging. I reluctantly participated in a Special Olympics event once and that would never do it again. I was estimated about ten years old., and may not realized it but what the event does is show encouragement. It shows sportsmanship and the values of teamwork. That's basically, there flagship tagline, but what they really did too me was show me. There is no winners and losers. There is no last place when exactly in the real world there is exactly a last-place. This social society is based on a pedestal of placement, you're not higher than your boss needs higher than you holding a better place value. "There is no losers" this is a joke in itself. Real competition has winners and losers this economy would be the judgment of just that. If you apply for a job, and someone has better qualities than you "you lose" that a harsh reality but a very realistic one. So I don't really see the encouragement in trying to bend and fluctuate the rules of one Special Olympics just to make someone feel better. Because that's not how the real rules work in life, sure debate the fact that most of the people only have a Special Olympic event to look forward to. They only have that excitement to feel like a true athlete, but then

I would call you a hypocrite, If you're telling me that these Special Olympics participates have nothing else to look forward to and they have been through a lot. So, make them all winners that takes the whole concept out of competitive Olympic games. Special Olympics are just a diluted version of what sports is supposed to be all about. Sportsmanship, understandable, but the real sportsman can only show true sportsmanship. When faced with defeat, someone can only feel encouragement if they have felt the bottom of last place, so they know all the hard work they put in, really pays off that is what should be encouraging in sports otherwise what is sports. If you take out the competitiveness is nothing more than organized Playland.

I have more of a prospective because I've actually seen it firsthand. I've actually have a unique personal experience with it but that does not give me the complete soap box. So believe me, if any of my readers disagree, please. Your vortices to be heard as well. I understood I could never played organized competitive basketball growing up. Just prohibited, an I am competitive. I have always been an athlete at heart it was like that way since I can remember. So instead of joining the deluded Special Olympics were everyone is a winner I wanted to know I was facing about competition. Available with no excuses. I didn't want someone to say you're a winner, but it's because you're a special Olympian. So, I found a way to affect the outcome of competitive high school basketball without actually playing. Still competing at the highest levels of the game as an assistant coach. I had been an assistant coach, since I was about ten and went all the way up until last year and I would still be active, but I had to take a hiatus because of school.

I learned the same qualifications that special Olympic committee was trying to instill in these challenged kids, I would just leave you with this if a kid is really challenged isn't that when we find out who's special?
