What are the advantages of setting contests?

I've been digging into sports programming for about two years now, and recently I have been thinking about dedicating time to contribute to the competitive community in my university (and maybe in CF as well!) by creating and organizing contests. However, I also want to keep on improving my skills and performance on competitions. I am somewhat worried that problem setting and testing will consume too much of my time and not let me grow personally. Or maybe I'm wrong and organizing contests can actually help a coordinator stay sharp in his/her skills? I just wanted to ask problem setters, testers, and users who have been involved in contest coordination in general, about your personal experience and opinion. Do you merely wish to give back to the competitive community? Or do you think it actually helps you improve personally? Or is contest setting and participating simply independent? Any advice you want to share is appreciated!
