Tim Tebow explains how to compete with someone for a job without secretly rooting for them to fail: “I would try to show up with the mindset of, ‘I’m competing with Chris Leak, but also for him as a team.’ I’m on his team, and he’s on the same team I’m on.” “When I get to go in the game, I’m trying to do good for him so he gets to come back on the field.” “We’re competing FOR each other.” “Average competitors, and I mean this more in mindset, not talent, want to beat someone when they’re weaker.” “Elite competitors want to beat people at their best.” “I want him to do good. I just want to do better. I’m going to root for him. I’m going to praise him. I’m going to encourage him. I’m going to want the best for him.” “Am I going to want to do great? Yes. But I’m going to choose to root for him. It’s a choice.” “It’s not always emotion. Your emotions, your pride and your ego, it can get to you. Fighting against it is a daily, moment-by-moment thing.”
