I mentioned something similar in another post, but what if Kevin pushing everyone so hard isn't him just being an asshole? What if it's him genuinely trying to protect them? In the nest, if you fell behind or couldn't play or weren't the best, you were basically dead. You were worthless. It's a lesson that was drilled into Kevin for years, especially as he grew up in the nest. So when Kevin joins the Foxes and sees them struggling, he panics. Where he's from this type of playing would be rewarded with a sharp caning at best, and other unspeakable things at the worst. So he tells them what they are doing wrong, how to fix it. And it doesn't even cross his mind to say what they are doing right because no one at the nest ever did that. So he comes off as a standoffish bitch. And maybe he is confused at first as to why everyone seems so mad at him, he's just trying to protect them. Maybe he never understands that criticism should be constructive, there should be more compliments than complaints, people need to hear what they are doing right. But he keeps pushing them to be better, because he never wants them to experience the pain he went through.
