In a relatively recent documentary, from a pro-football team commented on the four level of competitors that I felt compelled to share; as #businessathletes we constantly are in competition with ourselves and others. Identifying the different types of competitors not only gives the #businessathlete a competitive edge, but also clarity on any situation to be the possible version of yourself in business as a “Player” and “Coach”.

4 TYPES OF COMPETETITORS

Survivor – Does just enough to get by. They love to just get by. They love misery and the lowest form of competitor.

Contender – Motivated by playing time. Money. Fame.

Competitor – Internally motivated. Be the best version of yourself. Championship motivated. PR for everyone.

Commander – Same as the Competitor but brings people with them. Highest level of competitor.

In closing, you have to know where you are to know where you are going, and make the impactful changes necessary to impact positive change.
