Last summer, my wife beat me several times in a row at pickleball, and I responded by tossing my paddle over the fence. Not my proudest moment. She plays year-round, takes lessons, and is legitimately very good. I play sporadically, mostly in the summer. Losing should not have surprised me. But competitiveness has been one of my greatest strengths in sports, business, and life, and I have a hard time dialing it back. That’s the danger with many of our strengths: pushed too far, they can become liabilities. Competitiveness can steal the joy from time with a spouse or friend. Confidence can become arrogance. Persistence can become stubbornness. I’m not suggesting we should dull the things that make us special, but we should develop enough self-awareness and humility to recognize when a strength is no longer serving us. Clearly, I still have some work to do in this area. Sorry, Kristy.
