In this episode of All In, Clayton, Jose, and John Michael try to answer the question: "Is competition truly at the heart of masculinity, and how do you handle yourself when victory is secured or defeat is inevitable?"

Whether you're a man seeking a healthy competitive outlet or just curious about how virtue intersects with sportsmanship, this conversation will offer essential insights into finding freedom in competition and controlling your strength with meekness.

What You’ll Hear:

• The hosts discuss the value of winning well and losing well, establishing a "Mount Rushmore" of ultra-competitive winners (including John the Apostle, Kobe Bryant, and St. Gabriel Lalemant) and a "Valley Rushmore" of poor losers
• An exploration of the mindset of excellence and capacity, urging listeners to "fill that cup", contrasted with the frustration that leads to poor losing. This discussion includes the coaching philosophy of prioritizing growth over outcomes.
• Why competition is addicting—the constant chase of perfection—and the insight that meekness, defined not as weakness but as knowing and controlling one's strength, is crucial for controlling oneself whether winning or losing.
