There's a ton of reasons for losing your drive to be the best. Myself at one point was being scouted for the Swiss junior team as I have Swiss citizenship, I just didn't want to deal with it. The commitment level is astronomical for a young person, it really isn't for everyone. The dedication required for these guys to make it as far as they do is extremely taxing and unless you have the skill to be a top flight prospect it's very easy for it to be overwhelming.
