Competitiveness can get you far in life. The will to win is a powerful asset, but sometimes, you can go overboard. Many have been on the receiving end of another who goes a little too hard with their competitive nature. Sometimes, people can get hurt.

Let’s just take a moment to thank the videographer, who thankfully recorded this priceless moment in slow-motion.
