But that doesn't disqualify the option of the kid not really enjoying it as much as you would expect from a GM. How many other sports players have we seen where it is evident how much talent they got, but don't really work because they care about other things more. Latest example could be NBA's Ben Simmons who everyone touts as a very talented and gifted guy, but he just doesn't seem to work on his skillset in the summer like other players do. And it really hit him these playoffs.
Another example could be Britney Spears. She was on top of the world in the 2000s but it all seems like it was mostly her father's command. Not that I think she dislikes making music, I think she dislikes the things she has done as a pop star as a whole, but she was forced to by a parent (to the point where she has no control over her body)
- southeastern 5y agoPlenty of parents push their kids, but due to luck or natural talent most won't make it. In a lot of ways this kid was just insanely lucky
- atonse 5y agoSure. I think the first words of Andre Agassi's autobiography was something like "I hate Tennis." That has to be one of my favorite book openings of all time.
