It's the old argument: nature versus nurture.
Yet, I've seen parents invest tons of money, time and training in what should be recreational sports programs more than happy to take their investment on the "promise" of becoming superstar athletes with the real (sad) potential of becoming paupers one day. A fraction of the same amount of time could be invested in learning to read and comprehend (needed to solve infamous 'word problems'), instead of endless hours spent mastering the 'next level' in video fantasies that don't matter once the subject has come up for air so-to-speak.
I'd rather nurture: it's something we could control versus wait on and wish for like lotteries.
