over-achiever
I am subtitling a video of a podcast called "Lineup with Dave Prodan". Dave is interviewing Griffin Colapinto. There's a part of the video where they are speaking of Jake Paterson and Griffin is commenting that Jake was known as an "over-achiever". Should I even translate this term? If so, how should I translate it? Any suggestions?

muito mais que um conquistador de títulos
Friends and critics alike have described Snake as an “over-achiever”—meaning his achievements as a surfer exceeded his ability—but those folks clearly hadn’t watched Snake’s 2002 Haleiwa semifinal against Slater, Andy, and Parko, where he dominated the (cumulative) 15x World Champions in our sport’s most exposing conditions (seen at the top of this page).

Perceba que o contexto traça um paralelo entre os feitos de um surfista campeão e de um ídolo que atingiu muito mais que o sucesso no esporte!
