Plus, I believe that you can't be an achiever if you don't enjoy doing it. Coz the hardwork an international representation of the country requires is insane. I could almost equate it to meditation, it requires a lot of focus and dedication, be it any stream or field. Probably he did put the seed in them, but that eventually took its own form in the daughters. Plus, if parents seem some kind of potential in their kids, they do push them a bit more so that the kids go all out in achieving it. I think, the way we see it is pretty objective.

My point is phogat looked he was hellbent on getting his glory through his kids

He would have forced his son too if he had one

Its already difficult for kids to defy their parents let alone indian kids

May not be true all the time...Sometimes the inherent genius is so compelling that even half an attempt will lead to flourishing results...Case in point Sachin Tendulkar...He went on record saying he enjoys bowling more than batting and in fact got into this cricket thingy so that he will get to bowl...He even tried to enroll in that bowling academy(forgot its name)...But his coach said, na re baba you are made for batting...And the rest as they say, is history!

But not like he doesn't enjoy doing it at all. When I say this, I consider my own and other experiences around me. When you have to give everything to a particular sport or goal, you do have to have a liking for it. Probably yes, you might enjoy doing something else more but your passion for that particular task should be equally high. And the reason behind you wanting to achieve your goal might be different, it might be for yourself, for somebody dear to you or anything else. That only the person would know, but I don't think you'd excel in something when you are entirely forced to do it. Initially, probably yes..but eventually until and unless you develop a respect and liking towards it, moving ahead simply gets extremely difficult that too amongst insane competition.
