How Competitive Are You???

[the mathemagician]

In relation to sports...life... whatever?

Where would you rate your competitive nature on a scale of 0 -10?

I voted moderate today, if you would have asked me when I was younger than I would have said extremely, obsessive about winning.

 

Although when I first read this thread, it reminded me of that great joke Dane Cook did about playing Monopoly with his grandmother. :lol:

I'm very competitive in anything I do..........Not always a good trait.

Ditto.

I am a 5-6....PH is a 9-10. He says that if it is worth doing, do your best and don't lose at it.

I am also extremely competitive in everything I do--it can be both good and bad. I don't think anyone likes to lose, but it really, really burns me up. I have to reign it in considerably now that my children are playing competitive sports--I don't want to be one of those "baseball moms" or "soccer moms" that we all know. Fortunately my competitive streak does not apply nearly as severely to my children. I want them to do their best and have fun, and if they win--great, but I don't stew over it.

I'm extremely competitive when it comes to sports or video games. But when it comes to life I would say I am only moderately competitive.

I put considerably. The reason being is that I hate losing but I am also realistic.

 

My team playing a team that I know we cannot compete with and we lose, I can handle it. Any other situation and I don't like losing.

 

I especially don't like losing when we lose rather than the other team beats us. Meaning in baseball we lose 4-0 and all 4 runs are earned and we don't hit the ball, that I don't like.

:thumb: I'm there as well, I will give congrats and credit to the teams that beat me and not make excuses but I HATE losing.

I've competed at many different levels in golf. To me, the level I am competing at has a lot to do with how much I want to win.

[BigColonel]

Somewhat. It's just a game and in the big picture, not really all that important.

[JOHNDUNHOFT]

Back in the day I was really competitive and could not stand to lose at anything and I just would not accept it. Now that I am older I have learned to accept it for what it is. Still get riled when the Cats lose. JD

I am an absolute jerk on the court (or field, diamond, even playing chess). I have been now for routinely yelling at my teammates who try to congratulate me after I score, and telling them to shut up and play some defense.

9-10, but it's a sane 9-10..
