[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sister was an Olympian. My parents were definitely unmotivated. The most successful elite athletes will be self motivated and self driven. My sister even had to find her own coaches and which was difficult as we lived in a very very rural area.[/quote] It depends on the sport, but most elite athletes, especially Olympians, had parents who were also motivated and driven to help their child succeed. Some sports require mastery at a young age. 5-year-old gymnasts and figure skaters aren't the ones driving their dreams. It starts with the parents, but over time, the parent's role becomes much more limited, and it's up to the child. [/quote]
