There's more to life than sports, for sure, but there's more to sports than sports... There's a lot of life in sports. Underdog Sports is a website for people who tend to root for the underdog whenever they don't have their own dog in the fight, or when their own dog is the underdog. As a theologian, psychologist, author and more recently also a financial strategist, our editor & publisher has identified the psycho-spiritual-political dimensions of rooting for the underdog, being the underdog, and the ways in which spirituality, psychology, and even irrational belief can trump size, talent, and win/loss records, and how these dynamics and principles can be useful in the quest for success and victory at various levels and in various arenas, not the least of which, financial.
Any sports fan knows there's a reason the "worst" team vs. the "best" team still have to play the game. There is a reason why upsets occur, more often than we might think, and why sports pundits and odds makers who ignore the intangible factors in a match-up, do so at their peril.
This site is an attempt to create a community around the theme of beating the odds, overcoming adversity, and finding success by thinking outside the box. Yes, it applies to sports as a starting point, but only a starting point. We achieve success, redemption, revenge, justification and vindication whenever our underdog sports surrogates beat the favorites, the point spread, and all rational expectations to achieve the unimaginable. After vicarious success, comes real, personal and collective success. And that's what this site is about. (And any treatment of underdog sports must include women's sports.)
This site contains general articles and essays about the psychospiritual dimension of sport and the role that underdogs in competition plays in the sense in which sport is more than just sport.
