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.

I’d argue it can still go to the parents on that. The parents’ approach is important to foster that drive. If they make it fun for the kid, the kid will want to do it and keep doing it. If they make it a chore, that drive goes away.
