It absolutely works in the opposite. Tons of kids burn out when they get to college because mom and dad aren't there to force anything anymore, they don't actually have the drive and it just isn't fun anymore because it has been constant for 12-14 years
Believe it or not I make it a point to ask the older one whether or not he wants to keep putting in the extra work and let him know that he has to do it because he wants it not because we as parents want it.
But it's also a friends and family environment where there are a lot of current and former athletes who played collegiate sports, some who played pro, and some who are going off to play college soon.
