"I am best motivated through words of praise and recognition for a job well done. I do like to know that my efforts are noticed. In my current position, we have a leaderboard, and I do like that concept because it creates a healthy bit of personal competition for me as well."

I played high-level sports my whole life up to the professional level. I must also frequently juggle large workloads where the work is nontrivial and with deadlines looming. I am motivated when I need to perform under pressure and when good performance is rewarded and/or the environment is competitive. So, RBC capital markets can motivate me on the job by facilitating such an environment.

Nice! Consider switching the structure of your answer to emphasize first what motivates you and then going into your sports and deadline examples. Also, are you motivated by other incentives as well like bonuses, verbal or written praise, etc.? See below for another way you could answer this question:
I'm the kind of person who works best under pressure. I thrive in high-pressure situations with tight deadlines. As a result, I'd say that I'm motivated by the need to perform under pressure and in a highly competitive environment. I discovered this playing high-level sports, even on a professional level. I'm also motivated when good performance is rewarded, whether it be through team recognition or with financial incentives. I'm confident that I will find this type of environment at RBC and know that it will motivate me to perform at my best.
