Humility is a trait that many parents are failing to teach children nowadays. Then there are "superstar" pro and college athletes with huge egos setting examples for them. Alot of kids are now learning very early that if they have even an ounce of talent they will be treated as the hero. Some of them truly believe the team cannot win without them...which is obviously, not true. It's really unfortunate because then they have to learn humility the hard way.

Very true on all stated! When a parent thinks their child is above all some tend to get that eqo trait as well instead of teaching their child valuable lessons. The hard way is truly unfair for the child and a slap in the face of the parent who has not controlled the child in the first place. When Coach Rupp was at UK they were going to play LSU when LSU had Pistol Pete, one of, if not the greatest college basketball players of all time. When Rupp was asked how he was going to beat LSU, he said, "they have only one player, we will keep the rest from scoring because we cannot stop Pete, and our TEAM will beat one player." Pretty powerful stuff, and he was right!
