A problem a lot of athletes have as the levels go up is they’ve never been allowed to grow up
They’ve never matured beyond the parent being their mentor/coach/psychologist/decision maker
That might’ve been fine in 8th grade, but naturally as a man you want to establish independence-a sense of autonomy
So as you grow up your parents making all the decisions causes lower application and resentment
Because it’s not YOURS
It’s THEIRS
You correctly perceive you’re still operating on the level of a child
Reliant on the parent for all decisions
Life gets very difficult when you confuse roles: thinking coach is your friend, thinking Mom is your agent, thinking your girlfriend is your psychologist
To succeed, you need many advisors (Proverbs 15:22), and they need to be in the CORRECT designations!
