[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't need it. This is for the psycho parents who are trying to turn their child into an athlete to even have a chance to play at a high level. If you truly want your kid to be successful, you will never put a kid through this[/quote]

Are you into soccer or you're just browsing the soccer room on the forum?

You just said the parents for every soccer player around the globe that achieves playing at high levels are psychopaths.

Does the psycho narrative also apply to the academic world?

Every Olympian has psycho parents. 
Every NHL, NBA, MLB, NFL player has psycho parents. 
Every Wimbledon player has psycho parents. [/quote]

True, but we get fed the narrative via mass media/Hollywood that anything is possible and everyone can be Earl Woods or Richard Williams because their kid is special. The romanticism of anything is possible and the underdog that fought despite thick and thin. What is life like for those where it did not work out? Genuinely asking.[/quote]

You're asking what is life like for all the people who played youth sports and didn't become professional athletes?

They are your neighbors and coworkers. The doctor, the lawyer, the accountant, the millionaire business owner, the teacher, the gardener, the Wall St trader, the coach, the Tech wizard, bus driver, CEO, insurance agent [/quote]
