[QUOTE="sschind, post: 831077, member: 10247"] I sure hope you are wrong on this. I've seen first hand (though certainly not at that level) how that can affect people and its sad. All through my nephews early years he was the best or one of the best (baseball and basketball) and he got by with simply being a better athlete than everyone else. Unfortunately he never put forth the effort to improve and once he got to the higher levels and the talent around him got better he wasn't able to compete as well and it affected him mentally and he lost interest in those sports. He didn't start football until the 8th grade but even then he was very near the top in his first year and by then his lack of drive was so ingrained that he never tried to get better. He was still very good throughout high school but I think with some additional effort he could have been scholarship material. He has some other issues that have affected him as well but he simply lacked the drive to improve and eventually it caught up with him. [/QUOTE]
