[quote=Anonymous]DS kinda had this with his sport -- was told from 7th grade on that he would be a high D1 scholarship athlete. He would practice on his own for hours and hours and getting better seemed to really bring him joy. In high school, stuff started to get real -- scouts watching him play, college coaches contacting him, and he kinda freaked out -- it attitude went to total s**t within a couple of weeks and practicing was suddenly a struggle every single say. He quit his sport just as he was finally getting where he had been working to be for years. It was hard for him and sad for us, but it was bringing him no joy at all, and we supported his decision. He's tried to play for fun since, but he just gets really, really angry after 10 minutes of play or practice. It's too bad.[/quote]
