hypercompetitive

/hˌaɪpɚkəmpˈɛɾᵻtˌɪv/ adj

Extremely competitive.

Word Origin The root 'petere' means 'to seek or strive' — it's the same root in 'compete' (strive together), 'appetite' (a seeking toward), and 'impetus' (a rushing toward). Add Greek 'hyper-' (over, above) and you get 'hypercompetitive': striving way too hard. The PIE root *pet- also gives us 'perpetual' and 'centripetal'.
