That coin has 2 sides.

Maybe the pressure hurt her, maybe she never really was as good as the hype. If she had waited, there is a good chance that the realization would have been made that she wasn't the next Tiger Woods and she wouldn't have seen a dime from Nike or anybody else.

Very few of the people hailed as "The next..." actually turn out to be.
