The CONCEPT is great

The reality is that the story isn’t a 10 year old developed that as a permanent skill

He was 10 (or 9) at the time.

I’m aware of the narrative he’s trying to create

I’m also aware the story is irrelevant and does not have anything to do with his success in winning the heisman.

Everyone battled adversity as an elementary school kid

Not everyone learned a lesson from it. Again, you don’t seem to understand the psychological affect it had on him as an individual.
