Slappers
Don't like labels
I am a super competitive person. I like winning which makes competition fun. I played baseball and golf growing up....still play golf. I was always the outcast in baseball for some reason even though I always made the all star teams and played in those games. I guess I never relied on my teammates to get things done, I just did it myself. Well, that ruined the game for me. I wasn't mean to the other players and in fact, I never said anything to them. I wasn't a leader.
Golf is all on you. There is no one else to pick you up if you leave a pitch over the meat of the plate or hang that curve ball. That is why I thrived in that sport. I liked the pressure being on me to perform and to an extent, still do.
Sticking up for what is right will always alienate you from the group. It happened to me my whole life. I still do it though because it is the right thing to do. I want to instill that into the people that I influence.
What I have learned about my competitiveness over the course of my life is that what I was not so good at in my high school years such as playing for teams that I just didn't fit in with well is that I now have the ability to get under achievers, over achieve. It is weird. Not sure where it came from but I know that place that your in and she's in and it's not fun.
My advice to her and you would be to tell her to keep working hard and doing the right thing. A few of the other players know she is right and while they may have saved face by going with the group, will have it their minds and step it up a bit.
