Moneyball: "We're all told at some point in time that we can no longer play the children's game, we just don't... don't know when that's gonna be. Some of us are told at eighteen, some of us are told at forty, but we're all told."

The way this list is phrased, apparently there is no shame in being told (cut) - which is reason #1 - only in not trying to fulfil the commitment you made. I wonder how many players leave their sports for reasons #2-36, as opposed to reason #1?
