[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t stand Nate.  He reminds me of every entitled male that thinks of himself as a nice guy who is mistreated and unappreciated by the world and walks around with a massive pissy chip on his shoulder and doesn’t recognize that it’s his own pissy passive aggressive attitude that turns everyone off—not that “nice guys finish last.”  [/quote]

But that's the point - he IS recognizing that.  He is growing and becoming better.[/quote]

Not sure why he thought so highly of himself in the first place. He was promoted from a water boy, essentially. He should have been grateful and put in his dues before thinking he was some sort of "wunderkind" that deserved to coach a team.[/quote]

He obviously doesn't think highly of himself -- almost all of Nate's problems are a direct result of low self esteem.

Also, wouldn't serving as a water boy and then an assistant coach constitute "paying your dues"? I mean, Ted did neither and he's now the head coach of a Premiere League team despite still having a fairly minimal grasp of the game of soccer. So the "pay your dues" insult feels particularly misplaced in this context -- Nate knows more about soccer and has spent more time in low level roles on soccer teams than Ted has.

And yeah, i[b]t was the press who called him a wunderkind,[/b] and continues to do so, and the nickname was assigned not because he thinks highly of himself, but because he consistently coaches winning teams. He first got the nickname when he filled in for Ted and successfully got a win, and now he's been extremely successful at Westham (aren't they in 1st place? that's not easy) since becoming head coach there.

The irony here is that Nate actually should thing highly of himself and have a lot of faith in his abilities, but he continues to struggle with his self worth despite all this evidence of his well-earned success. [/quote]

No, Nate was being interviewed and said "[b]It's not like I am[/b] some kind of a 'wonder kid' and the reporter said, "do you mean 'wunderkind'?  He was the one who started that...[/quote]

Even you agree he didn't appropriate wonder kid/wunderkind for himself, though. Why are we still arguing about this?[/quote]
