Where Fantasy Sports Athletes Meet To Compete

Many of us who grew up playing sports at one point or another dreamt about playing for our favorite team under the bright lights of our hometown arena

. We wore our favorite players jerseys all too often and argued with our parents that our favorite jersey was proper dress attire for formal situations. Many of us lived and breathed our favorite sport with the endless optimism of a youngster and studied our sport as if it were a school subject. We collected cards and memorabilia and decorated our rooms with sports logos and equipment. We wanted to be involved in every element we could of the sport, and we often felt like we could be in charge of our favorite team.

Unfortunately very few of us get to live the dream of wearing our favorite teams jersey as our work uniform, and the reality of life forces us to find a 9-5. While our physical involvement in our favorite sport may fade over time, our passion for it never does. Many of us replace our physical involvement for mental involvement and continue to be students of the game well past our playing days.

Fantasy sport leagues allow us to get back in the competition the way we used to as kids. We get to act as a general manager for our fantasy team and we get to call the shots and make moves in order to win our league. Our knowledge of our sport becomes our sports equipment, a website that hosts our fantasy league becomes our arena, and the up to date standings becomes our scoreboard. Fantasy sports allow us to keep our passion and love of our favorite sport going strong. Its a chance to call the shots and be in control, just like a manager.

While we may not get the recognition of a sold out stadium chanting our name, seeing your name atop the fantasy leader board does call for a moment of prideful reflection. When your friends or work colleagues fall behind you in these standings, well then perhaps some playful bragging may be in order as well. Knowing that you have outsmarted your fellow sports lovers with your savvy decisions and instincts is something to be proud of, especially when there are great prizes to be won! However, when competing against friends or colleagues, many of us will agree the bragging rights far surpass any physical reward we may get.

Its not everyday that you can look your friend and tell them your sports decisions were better than theirs! While this may not seem like a big deal to everyone, those who like to compete know the satisfaction that comes from winning, especially when its against your friends. Its also a fun way to get everyone at work involved in a social experience as well. You never know who may share in your interest of your favorite sport or team. At the end of the day, fantasy sports allows people of all ages and levels of interest to participate in some fun and friendly competition, and with a little experience, you may be ready to take on more involved leagues and new challenges.
