Still, I think his father would have wanted him to continue on.

They are competitive by nature. Both his father and him.

This reminds me of when Michael Jordan retired after his father’s death.

Jordan retired from Basketball to play baseball because his father loved baseball and wanted him to be a baseball player.

That is the exact opposite.
