Don’t forget the parent who pushes the child right out of football by having the DC practice 7 days a week in elementary school. |
No one should take you seriously after your first four words |
This is a nice saying but it’s not always true. Hard work will help you beat your own previous best performance but it won’t always beat someone else. |
So you're saying Ronaldo is not known for his training and diet? Not sure what your off the wall response means |
Most don't realize Ronaldo didn't start taking training and nutrition serious until he was a pro. A lot of those guys had natural abilities but also they played 24/7 in their youth environment. Our kids train, their kids play at every waking moment which is the difference between world stars and our stars. |
Where is this information that Ronaldo did not take training seriously until he was a pro? It's missing from all the documentaries and biographies |
A bit early for gummies isn't it? The saying expects the reader to have a basic level of intelligence and understanding of high-level sports One isn't talented while the other is untalented |
So one player isn't talented and the other is untalented? Neither of them should be getting up at 5 and training, probably. |
Ok my bad it's been a while since I've seen any of them. He quit school around 15 to train full time and then went to United around 18. From what I had seen he didn't take training more serious until then because he saw how the pros worked, such as staying after practice and shooting for hours, using ankle weights while practicing step overs etc. In my mind tho at 15 he was basically almost pro or at least knew he was getting there. And don't think I'm knocking training but like most people the key thing I think we're missing is the free playing atmosphere. On certain days would I opt to keep my kid out of practice if there were pickup games available I would definitely do it. |
Of course, you should be taken seriously with no rebuttal or data. Then we wonder why the world is upside down. |
English reading comprehension issues as well haha It's not that one player is talented while the other player is untalented |
How did he become a pro at age 15 according to your logic? Was it Tinker-Bell who magically sprinkled some pixie dust on him or did he work and train ALOT between the ages of 8-14 and the results just showed themselves once he was 15 years of age? |
He won a Pro Player scratch off ticket at the gas station at 15 after 7 years on the couch playing video games |
Nice attempt to man explain high-level sports to me, but it’s not gonna work. Sometimes you get two talented athletes and the one who doesn’t work as hard is able to beat out the one who works harder. Life isn’t always fair. I know that goes against the narrative that you use to justify running your young child into the ground before puberty, but it’s reality. And I would bet a lot of money that I have more actual experience with high-level sports — as in I competed myself, not just living through my child — than you. |
Outliers always exist in every equation Every kid growing up in the 60's 70's and 80's must have run themselves into the ground before puberty since they were 20Xs more active before screen addictions We hear you Mister Olympian billionaire caped crusader playboy philanthropist |
