RE: Story of a ball hog, and how it didn't help him in football / soccer at all

I think every athlete has come across a Kevin at some point. Your point about them just chasing a dopamine rush is pretty spot on, although I never really thought about it this way until now. Its interesting how you said the coach sort of encouraged this behavior, as I think is actually pretty common practice with these types of players. Its too bad because they usually have a lot of potential, but perhaps they just aren't being corrected early enough.

when I was a kid the coaches were almost always one of the player's Dad and that player would get preferential treatment all the time. I think that Kevin's failure can be attributed more to his father than to himself but in the end we are all in charge of our own destiny.
