One picture of Allison doie cost way more than a thousand of something in most young men and trust me it won’t words this was probably the first picture of a hot chick to go completely viral well outside of Rita a Hayward this shot was taken in 2007 and stoky

Who was 17 at the time was all of a sudden plastered all over the Internet and horny men of all ages drooled at their laptops like hungry dogs before feeding time Allison was born in Newport Beach California and had taken up Pole vating her freshman year of high school

This photo was taken at a track meet her senior year posted to a website and her life changed forever and not often for the good she was suddenly hypersexualized and followed by the media and she legitimately wasn’t excited about all the attention what’s been lost in the hype around her looks

Was the fact that she was actually a very competent and accomplished athlete she then went on to attend Cal on a pole vating scholarship set some school records and did try out for the US Olympic team in 201 12 falling short after her athletic career she modeled and worked with GoPro showcasing her

Athletic prowess on YouTube she then met PGA golfer Ricky Fowler in 2017 and they were married in 2019 proving several cliche idioms about hot chicks and guys with money in the process now he’s I mean he’s like U Walmart Zack Efron Tamir Goodman this is one of my favorite

Stories of absolutely unnecessary hype to occur for really no good reason born in 1982 Tamir Goodman was 16 when a Baltimore newspaper dubbed him the Jewish Jordan to be fair the 6’3 guard was absolutely tearing up the floor averaging 35 points a game his junior year in the private school league mind

You and Goodman an orthodox Jew did this all with this yamaka on how insulting was it that a red-headed kid was out there crossing people up while his head cover didn’t even separate once from his head once that article hit and the catchy Nick name stuck all of a sudden

The hype train was underway Goodman had rules about playing on the Sabbath and was remarkably humble and set forth modest expectations for himself throughout the whole hype process stating that playing D1 basketball was his only real goal he finally agreed to play at nearby talson who was more flexible on his religious requirements

Than Maryland College Park who he originally committed to he was okay in college averaging about six points per game but then again playing D1 was his goal and he once remarked he was buying Jordans just like everyone else after college Goodman would go on to have a six-year pro career in Israel which

Eventually ended due to injury then stayed and now lives in Israel coaching and teaching youth basketball he has five kids Monae Davis Little League Baseball is amazing it’s one of the last highly competitive events where boys and girls can be on almost a Level Playing

Field well not in the case of Mona Davis who in 2014 captivated America by mowing down the boys like they were overgrown grass Monae became the 18th girl to play in the Little League World Series the sixth to get a hit and the first to ever

Toss a shut out throwing 70 mph ched Davis who hailed from Philadelphia and was born in 2001 landed on the cover of Sports Illustrated the first Little League athlete to ever do so though Davis and her team fell short in the semi-finals her performance was inspiring after the Little League World

Series Davis pivoted his softball and played at Hampton University as an infielder for two seasons after college Davis has appeared in many televised events as a broadcaster working with the MLB Network ESPN and most recently the Los Angeles Dodgers but not as a broadcaster according to the LA Times

She is interning learning the ropes with the video production and social media teams Davis has stated she someday wants to work in the front office and help the Dodgers spend billions of dollars on free agents Danny Elon on the flip side there’s a less Feelgood story probably

One of the biggest scandals to ever Rock the Little League World Series an event with an impeccable reputation that has never ever been involved in such nefarious cheating the year was 2001 a left-handed pitcher named Danny elonte was throwing so much gas OPC was concerned prices would get disrupted representing the

Bronx alonte was throwing 79 M an hour darts and absolutely blowing the doors off poor little 12-year-old kids he was facing Danny immediately became a national sensation and then went out and threw a perfect game the problem uh yeah he wasn’t 12 I mean there were some

Hints given the fact that he drove himself to the game shaved in The Dugout and had a wife and freaking kids just kidding see alanti was actually born in the Dominican Republic and it showed up that summer with a handwritten birth certificate that was shadier than an elm

Tree Once a few calls were made turns out alonte was actually 14 at the time yeah kind of unfair the Scandal broke and the Bronx Little League team was forced to forfeit all their wins though thankfully this happened after the World Series had concluded with the team actually losing in the semis alonte

Would play his high school ball in New York and then play in Joo for two seasons before playing a season of Indie ball in 2007 then returning to Joo in 2008 for Western Oklahoma State College where he put up a fantastic year as a pitcher and a hitter unfortunately he

Was never drafted as he was ironically seen as too old at the time alonte hung up the cleats in 2010 and is now an assistant High School baseball coach for Cardinal Hayes High School in New York City Freddy Ado if there was ever a case of a young athlete being way overhyped

And subsequently not living up to the hype at the top of that list you will find Freddy Ado Ado was just 14 when he signed with DC United of the MLS in 2006 and was being dubbed the next p i mean he kind of looks like him it seemed back

Then that the marketing machine that is the MLS wanted to try to go the young route instead of serving as the soccer world’s retirement home Leo Messi a dude who was born in Ghana came to America in 1997 and played football in Maryland as a youth and then after a strong showing

In an international U14 tournament he got interest from the MLS the hype train was underway for the young naturalized Ganan that’s how you say it it’s not garan though I wish I wish it was garan a dud broke several records in the MLS All pretty much age related he became

The youngest pro player in America the youngest to play an MLS game and the youngest to score a goal that would be pretty much all the records he would break after 3 years in MLS he went International becoming a journeyman for teams like Benny FICA and Jag I probably

Said those wrong along with a few bounce backs to America he did play on the US national team making 17 caps and scoring only two goals though he hasn’t officially retired from soccer he last played in 2021 he never even came close to the hype he’s now 36 and has

Expressed a desire to still play however he wants to Mentor young athletes and possibly coach he also says he regrets not putting in the work and a few bad decisions along the way B baby grank baby grank is an 11-year-old football player just kidding I don’t care let’s

Revisit this in 20 years when his dad is completely ruined his life and we’re watching his 30 for30 real quick before we get to the last young athlete where are they now quick shout out to Bryce Harper who has been in the spotlight since age 12 and has absolutely lived up

To if not blown away the expectations placed on him from a young age and has done it in a well-adjusted non- Justin Bieber type of way props to him and LeBron James pretty much did the same thing and finally Michelle Wei look in a lot of these cases many of the young

Athletes weren’t looking for the instantaneous hype that came with being a child prodigy in the case of Michelle Wei and her parents they were all about that born in 1989 in Hawaii Michelle Wei was the daughter of two South Korean immigrants in true Asian fashion we qualified for the USGA

Amateur championship at age 10 while also in med school and running two successful businesses okay the first part is true but once word got out that a kid was Balling on the links you know the rest before the age of 15 she made an LPGA cut played in PGA Tour events

Against the men and then qualified for a USGA event again against the dudes and she was hanging with them sort of we turned pro at age 15 unprecedented at the time her pro career didn’t go well from the off said though she was by no means bad and would make many of us

Let’s say let’s face it all of us weekend golfers look dumb as she missed several Cuts in the PGA Tour events she entered and failed to qualify for the US men’s open however she was decent on the LPGA Tour gaining several top fives however she wasn’t living up

To the Tiger Woods type hype in four years pro she missed 11 of 12 Cuts against the men and didn’t win a single LPGA event all while having several weird incidents and being rumored to be obviously petulant and needy she was 15 she also pushed for and received several

Exemptions that many thought were for marketing only fired a ton of caddies and very publicly challenged the men and came up short there is a happy ending though we after rehabbing a wrist injury joined the LPGA Tour permanently in 2009 and retired just this year enjoying a

14-year career where she won five tour events and the US Women’s Open in 2014 awesome in 2019 she married Johnny West Jerry West’s son which makes sense she 6′ tall the couple has a daughter though she was what we can all Define as a successful Pro and a competent athlete

We is a cautionary tale of early hype around a young athlete and that there are no guarantees of success in life it’s a marathon not a Sprint so if you have a kid that’s good at something just let them have fun and if they are good

At it be a good parent and post the reals of them on Instagram I’m five points vids and you made it to my next video

  1. I love Mo’ne Davis was going to be the first woman to play in the MLB. We all knew in 2 years the boys will be so far ahead of her.

  2. Wie would have probably CRUSHED IT had she focused on just the LPGA tour, but her dabbling with playing in various PGA events and everyone trying to force her into being the female Tiger Woods by beating dudes was the downfall. Had she just been the female Tiger Woods focused on destroying the LPGA we are having a different discussion about her.

  3. Hmmm…..Allison Stokke is more beautiful than most any movie star, is a good enough athlete to play D1 sports, gets a shot at a berth on the Olympic team and ends up marrying a multi-millionaire. Struggling to see any failure mode on this one dude.

  4. I remember Danny Almonte. Dude was like not at all the right age for that lmao I mean damn they really tried to sneak a 14 year old in there

  5. I do not remember Baby Gronk. Still do not know anything after video. Also, I do not care, so I am not looking it up. Please do not respond to tell me. I will be avoiding replies to this if there is any.

  6. Allison Stokke didn't ask for the attention. She was an unusually attractive athlete that was a focus of attention for bored track and field fans.
