Are Junior players being set up for a tough life?

I go by the opinion of do whatever the hell you want. I don't care if it's a 15 year old or a 50 year old. It's a free country. If a kid wants to dedicate himself to xyz, so be it.

Dedicating yourself to any sport, even the major ones that pay millions, for 99.999% of people will result in less money than working full time at McDonalds. That's the reality of pro-sports.

But so what? Life isn't just about money. If someone loves poking the balls with a stick, let them.

All i have to say is Danny Basavitch, Promising player when he was young. He got stuck with some dude named Mike who was a real scumbag. I am sure he didn't help. The last few years of his life was very pitiful. His father use to run his facebook account and i remeber was his father pleding to get this kid a Job at a gas station. It got so bad and depressing i stopped following.

Most of these kids don't have the talent to be a top player and pool don't play enough.

Bassavich WAS a top player though (national level, not world level). He'd probably be 780 speed in today's context. Drugs are what did him in.
