Can I refuse to sign a non-compete agreement because the "competition" is undefined?

The employer is in a fairly niche segment of a broader field, but defines itself (in other official documents) as being in competition with the much broader field, which isn't necessarily accurate. The agreement does not include any verbiage to define "the competition." If I were to agree to this non-compete, I potentially will be unable to work in any position for which I am trained. I cannot afford legal fees associated with petitioning the validity of the agreement after my employment has ended. I would like to avoid such an outcome by getting the "competition" defined as clearly as possible before I sign the agreement.
