How to use "One-upmanship" in context?
Looking to gain an edge over your competition? Try one-upmanship - a competitive mindset in which one strives to do better than anyone else. It can be a fun way to drive yourself and others to be their best, but it can also have negative consequences.
One-upmanship often starts innocently enough. Maybe you see your teammate solve a complex math problem in seconds, prompting you to hurry and beat that record. But soon enough, the game can take on a more ruthless edge. If someone else in your group beats you at the game you love, you might start playing it less and less, out of frustration.
