[quote=Anonymous]I have an overachiever in one specific domain (athletics). It is because he loves it, plain and simple. I don't think it had much to do with us. We told our kids early on that we had no interest in pushing them to play, so if they wanted to excel, it was on them. One of our kids stayed with rec level, but the overachiever just continually pushed and still pushes himself. He practices by himself for hours. I honestly think practicing calms his mind. He gets into some sort of zen zone. I have literally never felt zen or calm about athletics in my life and do my daily exercise out of obligation only but I see it with him. I am a little jealous to be honest, would make my daily slog more enjoyable.[/quote]
