A lot of guys don't act on their goals and decide they're going to put family ahead of their goals when they find out that's happening. So they settle on a less ideal situation or position than that they could have reached - in this case, competing for the cup.
It is loving and selfless in one sense, but they're also giving up something that they desire within them in another sense. And guys who give up their career goals in favour of others (even family) are going to be left wanting at the end of the day because they didn't fully fill out the potential of where they could've reached and realise their own potential.
So for Johnny to take this route is disappointing. But maybe Johnny just isn't up to tackling both. And that's what I was getting at.

It's disappointing for you(which is meaningless). It may be perfect for him. How are you to know his motivations, or if they have changed over time? It's baffling you think you know better than him what is best for his happyness.
