My dd 3 and I play competitive games like cards, board games, connect 4 and so forth. Although, I sometimes let her win, most of the time I do not let her win. She is quite comfortable with the concept that sometimes other people will beat you at a competition. I started competitive games somewhere around 2 with tic tac toe. She plays soccer, but it is not competitive soccer. It is a bunch of kids learning to kick the ball around. As far as real competitions, I do not know, but I do believe competitions are valuable in general.
