I am inclined to believe that as a former grad student, my reading assignments and term papers, compilations/sourcing, took-up most of my day-time activities, meaning, as with any study plans the focus is on research and that of term paper formulation. I wish now that I could have remembered to face back in the direction of SFI, at that time that additional income would have been nice. But I can say without a doubt, my focus was on my research work at that time. Even when I was checking out at the grocery store I would be internalizing about the formulation of my term papers.
If you want to be the best at something it will depend on the amount of time you $pend on it.
At times when I was in grad school, I would take a magic marker and create a sign that stated no television today; I would tape that to the screen of the television, which was done with the hope of placing a conscious restriction on my television watching time, versus that of my study/reading time.
When pushing to achieve any objective of various magnitudes, time is the most crucial element of all variables, notwithstanding age, that is, if one wants to categorically produce effective results.
So I would say no matter the age, the most important factors to be looked at when considering introducing a youth into this program would be, priorities, their dominant focus, and order of importance, with the most crucial element being that of free-time.
Thanks, and good luck.
