sports mode
Car's aggressive option
Sports mode is a setting on vehicles that adjusts performance characteristics for more aggressive driving—typically sharper throttle response, firmer suspension, and delayed automatic gear shifts.
The term extends to other devices with similar high-performance options: I put my camera in sports mode to capture the action.
Figuratively, going into sports mode means shifting into a more intense, competitive mindset.
