In Competition Interaction..

I never quite know how to act around teams and athletes during the time of a competition and right before it.  I believe in just being a spectator and just leaving them alone.

I want to let them focus.  There is no useful information that I can give them.   Maybe seeing some support would make them do better.  Not sure, but it might.  Supposedly people are supposed to improve when they know they are being watched.     

I don't want to over analyze the situation but I just don't know whats right.

Certain sports are different and have more interaction.  Track and Field is one of the harder sports for me to know what to do.  I was at UNC Chapel Hill for a Track meet today and saw some athletes I know.  I didn't really say anything to them though.  I didn't seek them out.  I almost blocked them out.  I felt like if they wanted to come up to me, they could.  I didn't want to go up to them though.  Hopefully they don't confuse my lack of interaction as being anti-social, it's more of making sure that I am not a distraction. 

Do I say hello or do I not say hello?  It's quite awkward sometimes.
