Isolation and Strict Diet
Richard’s life was strictly regimented, focusing solely on training and diet, leaving no room for typical childhood experiences like playing with peers or visiting parks. He wasn’t allowed to eat sweets like other kids; instead, his diet was tightly controlled by his parents, who would eat junk food in front of him while he adhered to his strict meal plan.
Despite the deprivation, Richard remained committed to impressing his parents and trainer, keeping any dissatisfaction to himself.
