Chapel Talk, 2006 May 14 / Tad Roach

During the Arts Weekend Chapel Service, Headmaster Tad Roach contemplates the role of competition in the academic, athletic, and the broader world beyond St. Andrew's. Competition at its best can inspire innovation, creativity and excellence. The dark side of competition can foster desperation, ruthlessness, and destruction. It is imperative to move through life with an ethical foundation in order to keep the spirit of competition pure, even if that means success is not achieved.
