The goals of a sports competitor are different from a recreational participant. In contrast to a competitive sports-specialist athlete, someone new to a sport, may not have a high level of interest or commitment in a particular sport, yet.
There is a Life-Cycle that begins with recreational sport participation, that may progress through a competitive phase, and then return to a recreational sports participation focus. Not all athletes compete. Some enjoy sport without entering a competitive stage, and continue their sporting experience without competing.
