Washington has incentivized the militarization of local police precincts by using federal dollars to help municipal governments build what are essentially small armies - where police departments compete to acquire military gear that goes far beyond what most of Americans think of as law enforcement.
Many memory techniques involve creating unforgettable imagery, in your mind's eye. That's an act of imagination. Creating really weird imagery really quickly was the most fun part of my training to compete in the U.S. Memory Competition.

What I hear from employers day in and day out is, 'I need to make sure I have that skilled workforce to compete.'

I keep myself flexible; I just compete at my normal body weight.
I compete against myself in competitions anyway, so I train against myself in practice.
Champions are not the ones who always win races - champions are the ones who get out there and try. And try harder the next time. And even harder the next time. 'Champion' is a state of mind.

The majors are very important, and I would love to win one or many. I'll continue to compete in them hard and win if I can. There's not much more I can say. I'd love to be part of the club of people who've won majors.

People like reality; I think it's always happened from the Roman times, when people used to go to a coliseum and watch people compete against each other.

Although in skating you compete with other people, anyone who achieves a certain level of success is first and foremost competing against themselves.

I respect women but do not necessarily believe that women need to compete with men.
My dad and I compete on the pool table; that's the most important competition of our lives. The fact that I'm writing and it works for me is one of the great joys for him. We talk about writing, and it's great.
