Are you overcompetitive when playing sports?

[Grant]

When it comes to competition in sports, do you take it very serious? Or do you just enjoy the sport for what it is and not take it as serious? I prefer the later, as I just play to enjoy it. If I lose, I lose. But I know there are people out there who have that competitive nature and will sometimes be overcompetitive to the point it could be annoying. Like I get if you're playin in the Olympics, you want to be at your best. But if I'm playing in some small league or some town based team, I don't think I'd take it super serious. I'd try, but I wouldn't blow my legs out to get a win either.

I can't say that I play a lot of competitive sports and anything I do play is usually done for fun and to have a laugh with friends and family.

If I needed to be competitive in sports I would be but for the most part, I much prefer to play sports for fun, I feel playing competitive can sometimes take the fun out of sports and I would hate that.

Well, although I like to enjoy sport because it's one of my main hobbies, I'm competitive and I can't deny that competitiveness, even if it's a match between friends I always try to give my best, so basically yes, I'm competitive in the sport.

From time to time I've had some problems playing sports with friends and acquaintances because of my competitiveness lol.

As a fan of football, I don't joke with it. I watch the games with all seriousness that is there and always want my team to win. I've had arguments at viewing centers with rival fans all because I am supporting a different football team from theirs.

Since I'm not a professional sportsman any sports I engage in is definitely for the fun of it. However, I hate losing, be it a match organized just for the fun of it or one with high stakes. Overcompetitive? I wouldn't use that word. Very competitive? Yes, I play with all seriousness whenever I choose to play. I do not enjoy losing at all.

No, I'm not too competitive when I'm playing football or swimming. No one is paying me any money for playing football or swimming, why do I have to be too competitive? Being competitive will put me at the risk of getting injured.
