Well I was a lazy undisciplined kid with amazing skills at just about everything I did.
I was great ins sprots, school all that sort of stuff. But I was inconsitent, and I did not pay attention...
I started doing worse and worse in life, not paying attention, finding things around me mroe interesting then what I was doing etc...
I really wish my father had instilled more discipline in me by forcing me to take my martial arts and sports more seriously, Im only now at 20 back in great shape and putting an all out effort into life.
You could actually damage his ability to survive by allowing him to become a space cadet when hes bored.
I think an important thing to teach him, is that even though he may be bored, otehr kids are still trying their absoloute best, and that they NEED him, and it is HIS DUTY to help them have fun and succeed, and that is waht it is to be a member of a team, you serve everyone. Epecially if your the "best" then you owe everyone esle more of yourself, because you CAN do what they need you to do.
That is my 2 cents, thats like .166 american, dunno if that still counts, good luck with your pup
