It's who he is.

While that might be correct in how he feels at this point in his timeline I would caution you as a dad to not to support that. The game should be a part of him but only a part. At some point he needs to be able to remove the game and still be a strong and productive person. I have seen to many kids feel completely lost when the game ends for them.

I think the game should be life lessons, the competition and the friendships that go along with the ride. Maybe they will coach when they are done maybe they will find a new love, create a business empire around some aspect of the game they love...but it IMO it shouldn't be its who I am. I think a person needs to be bigger then that.
