Always a good question to ask -- "How much did Sean’s childhood fame have to do with his crash?" I've often highlighted David Elkind's book "The Hurried Child" in talking about the perils of rushing the process. "Parents, please let your children be children! This book is a wake-up call to parents of young athletes to slow the process down. Don't let your child be "The Hurried Child." If you don't understand the ramifications of "The Hurried Child," read David Elkind's fine book on the consequences of putting children in harms way by exposing them to too much too soon. I hope parents heed my message, but I'm not counting on it."
