Part-Time Indian

In the book Junior said:
"I'd always been the lowest Indian on the reservation totem pole - I wasn't expected to be good so I wasn't. But in Reardan, my coach and the other players wanted me to be good. They needed me to be good. They expected me to be good. And so I became good."
This happens all over the world, children are told they can not do something and so they don't or they feel like they can't. How did this affect Junior? Have you ever been told that you can't do something? Did you end up proving them wrong? How did that affect you?
