hard-charging
Intensely pushing forward
Hard-charging describes someone who pursues goals with relentless energy and determination.
The term suggests aggressive forward momentum—someone who doesn't slow down or wait for permission: a hard-charging prosecutor, hard-charging sales teams.
Originally military slang for troops advancing aggressively under fire, it now applies to anyone who attacks work or competition with intensity.
