It blows my mind his dedication to getting it all done. I'm not sure that at his age i could have done the same. He knows what he wants and is busting his ass to get there.
Good for you!

I remember as a kid, playing soccer which wasnt nearly as big in North America at the time, but I had skill and talent and what I didnt have was that drive.

As I got more and more injured I just got more and more disassociated, so having that drive is really special.

"Hard work beats talent every time talent decides not to work hard."

If you've got both? So much the better.
