[quote=Anonymous]My brother was known as in the top 3 in his sport in the US with college recruiters all over the country vying for him. They came to the house for interviews/pitches. He briefly went pro after college. My sister and I played the same sport. I did play on an elite team and was good, but nowhere at his level. What helped- different genders and that he was an awful student and in trouble a lot. I looked up to him, but I excelled in school and was the model child. My dad also took interest in me and my team so the focus wasn’t 100% him. In these situations I know the other sibling will often carve out a niche and do something different to have another identity. Parents need to treat the kids as equal as possible- and not get caught up and praise the super athlete.[/quote]
