Zadie's Big Day

"You're the best footballr, Zadie, and the best skateboarder!" (p. 53)

 Zadie is a good football player and she is called hero by her team mates. One day she meets a new student, Simon, in her school. He plays skateboard very well. Zadie and Simon have a competition of skateboard, but she hurts her leg.
 Zadie is competitive, so she practices skateboard if she isn't good at it. I can understand her feeling that she doesn't want to give up. When I was a child, I often had a quarrel with my brother. Though I couldn't beat him, I didn't want to give up. Do you have experiences which you feel you're competitive?
