[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I notice some of these parents made huge sacrifices for their kids - moving for their training, etc.!  I think I saw Chloe Kim's dad gave up his job to support her training, and that Red Gerard's family moved from OH to CO so he could train.

I don't personally know any sports prodigies like this.

[b]I wonder though how many other kids would also be sports prodigies if they had the time, money, resources, parental sacrifice / commitment invested in them that these teens have?[/b]

Especially for sports like snowboarding, skiing, figure skating, etc. I don't think Lebron James' Mom made a huge investment in his sports career. Maybe she would have if she was capable of it, but he seems to be fairly successful anyway.[/quote]

I think the interesting question is: Just what would have happened if LeBron was born with all his physical gifts into a basketball family with a pro parent like Steph Curry? Or what would have happened if he was born into a pro football family like the Mannings (given that he probably would have made a great football player)?
