Really enjoyed that clip. I think the very label 'talented' is dangerous (Carol Dweck). I see so many parents anxious to label their children as footballers, mathematicians, musicians, etc. - all to the detriment of the child as all it does is switch them off to the things which they are not *yet* able to do proficiently (compared to their peers). I do like the Damien Duff quote which is related to this subject - I'll put a link here :) www.irishtimes.com/sport/soccer/damien-duff-fed-up-with-pain-in-the-arse-parents-at-rovers-1.3260803
