I’ve been watching so many kids lately spend their entire childhoods hyper-focused on a single competitive circuit. It’s impressive to see that level of dedication at such a young age, but I can't help but wonder if they're missing out on just being kids. Does anyone else think the pressure on youth athletes is getting a bit out of hand?
If they had any way of knowing for certain that he wasn't coming back, they probably would have just let those 15,000 people who got stuck move on. But then again, everyone would be thinking the exact same thing. ☕
And honestly, it would just be a never-ending cycle. Like Sandra Nelson59 mentioned earlier in the thread, there comes a point where you just have to cut your losses and say enough is enough.
I find it a bit surprising, though, how easily they seemed to throw in the towel. I have a feeling they’ll definitely try to pivot and find some new direction soon.
