Using other's arrogance as own motivation

Normal to do something just to be beat someone who's really arrogant at it?
I know people go on about doing stuff for urself, but is this a worthy enough excuse for motivation? And will it work as well or better than me wanting to do it for myself?
PS. I'm talking about athletics

    Definitely. People who don't deserve their positions piss me off to the point of me trying harder. I.E. "popular" kids at school, jerkwads, deutchbags. I can outperform them all if I tried.

    Well, it's probably not the best excuse for motivation, but it's always nice to see someone arrogant crash and burn.
