hard chargers

Relentlessly driven people

Hard chargers are people who pursue goals with relentless intensity and aggression.

The term originated in military contexts for soldiers who advance fearlessly, and spread to business and sports for anyone who attacks challenges with exceptional drive: The sales team is full of hard chargers who won't take no for an answer.

Often implies admiration, though sometimes suggests recklessness.
