Talent and desire will eventually win out. Others DO become distracted with other interests and drop by the wayside. Unfortunately, in a samll town, if the talent is equal, then politics WILL win out. It happened to my 2nd son when he chose to move to live with his mother in a small town. He couldn't get on the field as a Junior in football or baseball. When he finally did, he excelled, making all-district teams in both sports as a Senior. But he was also at the point of giving up both sports as a Junior. I told him he should always finish what he started, then decide at year's end if he still wanted to quit. He's glad he didn't. So were his teammates...and so were MOST of the parents.
