Life is being compared to a competition without the usage of 'like' or 'as' so it is a metaphor.
"Gym Candy" by Carl Deuker uses metaphors related to sports and competition to explore themes of ambition, pressure, and identity. For example, the idea of "being addicted to candy" is a metaphor for the protagonist's obsession with performance-enhancing drugs in sports. Another metaphor is the portrayal of physical strength as "armor," reflecting how athletes use their bodies to protect themselves emotionally.
