Episode 11 - Why We Compete

In this episode of Know Fear, we dive into the psychology and philosophy of competition — from locker rooms to cliff edges.

We explore the value of team sports and how learning to win and lose together builds communication, leadership, and resilience that translate into life far beyond the game.

But the real heartbeat of this episode is individual sports — especially the extreme kind. From solo climbs to wingsuit races, we talk about what happens when the opponent is not another person, but fear itself. When the challenge is between you and gravity, or you and your own limits.

We also take a deep look at the World Wingsuit League — how it started, how it’s evolved over the last decade, and why this competition isn’t just about speed… but about presence, precision, and the pursuit of the impossible.
