Strange but interesting, to call it "risk adverse problem" …..I too would not have had any idea what that meant, and might have thought it had to do with injury risks.....
Also intriguing idea from Bonnie, that his brother's situation might have indeed rubbed off, as he may have seen and learned his brother's overly cautious play, or possibly even had been told by him to be careful not to throw....
There is a lot to that I think @Kaila .. Get this! .... when David would go to practices for the Texans, odd, but very true, it was a "family affair". .. their father drove David, and brought Derek along, to every darn weekly practice the team had... like they were little kids!
The coach didn't like it one bit, but no one told the dad to get out, and the other players on the team had plenty of jokes about it!
Everyone talked about it.
But anyway, Derek grew up on the sidelines of that situation, and it had to make an impression on him. He was in Jr. High at the time.
