Indeed, I'm often finding parallels between the experiences of gifted children in athletics, music, entertainment, and academics. You can find hothousing in all of them, excessive pressure, children self-destructing emotionally, etc. You can also find children who are obsessed, focused, and goal-oriented, who are dragging their parents along with them.

But, according to the article in that other thread, when my DD9 dragged DW and I to the soccer field last night to work on her goalkeeping skills, we were pushing her.
