As a counterpoint, look at how the Polgar sisters were raised. Yes, Lazlo and his wife were both education professionals, and spent an inordinate amount of time dedicated to developing the girls. But look how it turned out. On a different note, I used to hate sport when my parents forced me to play it. I liked screwing around on the computer or playing video games. However, when I found tennis naturally around 12 or 13, I couldn't get enough of it, and vastly improved on my own because I had a lot more fun playing than most of my peers did, who were forced into it by their parents. Most of them don't even play for fun anymore with friends, and I'm in my mid 30s and still play frequently.
