If you want to be the best financial analyst you can be, move to Manhattan.
If you want to be best country singer you can be, move to Nashville.
If you want to be the best actor/actress you can be, move to Los Angeles.
If you want to be the best software engineer you can be, move to Silicon Valley.
If you want to be the best powerlifter you can be, move to Columbus.
Contrary to the belief held in Malcolm Gladwell's book, David and Goliath, which states that college students you have a greater chance of success by going to a less competitive school, powerlifters have the mentality that is a horrible thing to be the strongest guy in the gym for a substantial period of time.
In order to grow, you need to be pushed, you need to be a little afraid of getting eaten alive, you need to learn from mentors that are better than you in every way. It feels nice being the big fish, but if you want it bad enough, put yourself in a position where you are the little fish, and then make yourself grow, even if just a bit, everyday.
