I've always been super competitive about everything I do. From cooking to sports, I always find a way to make it a competition. When I swam in college we played different sports for "fun" to help team bonding. It was a running joke that it was never just "fun" for me. It was a serious competition of dodge ball or handball. So, they use to kid me asking if I took AP Gym in high school and if I got full credit for it. (AP classes are classes in high school that you may earn college credit for and are usually slightly more challenging than regular high school classes.)
After awhile I loved the concept of AP Gym. Why not want to win all the time? What's the harm in that? As long as when you don't win, you don't beat yourself up over it; then I say try and be the best every time.
It wasn't until I found CrossFit that this concept truly applied everyday. Everyday in CrossFit is a competition. For most people it is a competition with themselves and their athletic potential. For others, they push themselves by seeking that top time, weight, or rep count on the board. But either way, CrossFit pushes you to your best everyday. CrossFit is AP Gym.
