[quote=Anonymous][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] +1. My friend was an Olympic medalist. He moved away from home at 14 to train with high level coaches, because he wanted to win so badly.[/quote] Allowing your child to move away from the family at age 14 is the very definition of a motivated sport parent. Who do you think paid for this move. Paid for the training? Paid for his room and board? Your friend would never have become an olympic medalist without extremely motivated parents.[/quote]
