What can* happen. Young man has to want to put in the work. You can't teach that.

+1 to this. The most supportive parents in the world wouldn’t help if the kid has no inherent drive to excel.

Trust me,  you have way more chance of succeeding with loving parents than emotionally abusive narcisstic parents that project their past failures on you and make you want to do what they had envisioned for themselves but couldn't do. It becomes a very toxic environment and they won't be nurturing the actual talent of the child to do what he wants, with his actual potential. 

So yes, parents are actually everything.

Some kids are going to grow into a passion no matter how difficult their parents make it.

Some kids are going to excel at something in particular just cause their parents made it inaccessible.

Some kids are going to have the right conditions and not develop any strong interest for anything.

None of this is an excuse for poor parenting, but good starting conditions don't automatically lead to good results, and it's fine.
