Top answer

A "one-man army" is someone who can do, or thinks they can do, everything by themselves and without assistance -- especially when the thing in question involves some kind of aggressive activity. So, presumably this person behaves this way in "every competition". "you are your one-man army" seems a slightly unusual form of wording.
