The guy who he talks to is not even in the competition, but why did the speaker say "you" here?
Native speaker’s answer

The speaker does not have a specific audience he is addressing by his use of "you" here. Rather, "you" is used to make a general statement, usually in the form of advice or general rules to follow. Ex: Treat others how you want to be treated. Ex: You can do anything if you put in the effort and work hard.
