0:00.0	Welcome back to another episode of Arnold's Pump Club.
0:03.6	Today, we're going to talk about winning, but it's probably not what you expect.
0:09.1	I'm known as a fierce competitor, but there's something that most people misunderstand about
0:13.6	competition, and it can benefit you in many aspects of your life. I'll also discuss
0:20.4	why you should pay closer attention to your use of plastics. It might be a big difference
0:27.0	on your health. This weekend, like many of you, I watched the final of the Women's World Cup.
0:33.6	I was inspired. It was a fantastic game. In England and Spain, both left everything on the field,
0:40.3	but what inspired me came after the whistle when Spain celebrated their first Women's World Cup
0:46.0	victory. I saw a Spanish player step away from the celebration to hug one of the English players
0:53.3	who was crying on the field. And then, as the camera panned, you saw more and more players

1:32.4	could train and practice posing together at Gold's Gym all year when we'd have to face each other
1:38.3	on stage. For some reason, people love this idea that everything has to be zero sum. It's black
1:46.0	and white thinking. You have to lose so I can win. Of course, there is some truth to that. Only
1:53.0	Spain went home with the trophy, but both teams learned lessons. Both teams played a fantastic game
2:00.6	and both teams inspired us. I've never believed that everybody can be a champion. That's not true
2:08.3	in competition, but everyone can win. If you learn, improve, or inspire someone like me watching
2:16.8	at home, you win. I want to thank the English and Spanish teams for reminding us that we can compete
