or professional dancers.
at the risk of being overly trenchant, it's sad that the only winning endgoal future this immensely driven, very clever, disciplined kid can see is as an athlete. prob would not be the case if this was a white middle class teenager.his ugly early upbringing clearly colors a lot of why discipline seems to matter so much.otoh:
Bill counters and says Josh "understands this isn't just about sports. He knows that he has a purpose here in life; it goes above and beyond sports." Bill points to Josh's near-perfect grades, the way he greets people with a smile, handshake and eye contact, and his goal to attend a strong academic college to pursue a career as an entrepreneur."A lot of people would be like, 'I don't understand how he does it. There's no fun in it,'" Josh says. "But I enjoy it. I like the regimented plan and I enjoy getting better and working hard. I like seeing the results."The family's Christian faith is also "a big part of Josh's life," Bill says. He and Josh talk often about praying for guidance and asking God for signs during trying moments, such as the high school decision process. And Bill is quick to credit God's blessing — and not training or coaching — for Josh's athletic abilities."We talk about leaving a legacy, making an impact, making a difference in other people — and not just through sports," Bill says. "He's a smart kid. He gets it."
