I coached elite youth hockey for 10 years. I used to quietly laugh at the parents who were sure their 12 year old was an NHL player in the making. There are millions of kids all over the world who play hockey and there are fewer than 800 jobs in the NHL. I used to tell them to just do the math.

Our son swam in the summer league and then started year round. He seemed to have a natural talent and did very well with three state high school championships, multiple state records, etc. He was recruited by many schools. Nationally ranked, etc.
Then he went to university to swim and became a small fish in a big pond, but his goal was to use swimming to open the door to get in a great school for the education.
Edit: I remember meeting with him and his coach. She was sure he was going to the Olympics and was pissed when he said he was only using swimming to get into a great school. I was not happy with her and she wasn’t his coach after that. He achieved his goal.
