hypercompetitive
Obsessed with winning
Hypercompetitive describes someone or something excessively driven to compete and win, often beyond what a situation calls for.
A hypercompetitive person turns casual games into fierce contests: He's so hypercompetitive he can't even play Scrabble with his kids without trying to crush them.
The term often carries a negative edge, suggesting the drive has become unhealthy or exhausting.
