supercompetitive
Obsessed with winning
Supercompetitive describes someone or something intensely driven to win or outperform others, beyond ordinary competitiveness.
A supercompetitive person turns casual games into serious contests: He's so supercompetitive he can't even play Scrabble without keeping lifetime stats.
The term applies to markets, industries, or environments where rivalry is especially fierce: a supercompetitive job market.
