I read an interesting story about the family angle today:

http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/11562/the-essenti...

This is about probable NBA hall-of-famer Reggie Miller and how he turned into a renowned trash talker. Apparently a lot of the drive came from growing up under the thumb of his even more successful older sister. The day he scored 40 points in a high school game was the day she scored 105. He couldn't beat her one-on-one until he was an adult. Now trash-talking is not the same as success, but it takes some tenacity to keep challenging people no matter how the game is flowing.

How many of us wish our parents and siblings were meaner?
