00:00Being the child of a sports legend naturally brings enormous expectations.

00:09However, not all children of champions are able to replicate their parents' success.

00:15Here are the stories of several sons of sports stars who failed to achieve the same level of glory as their fathers.

00:24Enzo Zidane, the eldest son of Zinedine Zidane, recently retired from football at 29.

00:31His father is a global football legend, renowned for his brilliance on the field.

00:37Remember that headbutt? Iconic.

00:40Enzo, however, was never able to replicate similar success.

00:44He bounced around different clubs, always carrying the weight of his father's legacy.

00:51Like Enzo Zidane, Mick Schumacher also grew up under immense pressure

00:57because his father, Michael Schumacher, is basically the Beyoncé of Formula One.

01:03Mick started his racing career with high hopes and his achievements in Formula Two showcased great potential.

01:11He even landed a coveted spot with the Haas F1 team.

01:15But driving for Haas is a bit like being the opening act for a Nickelback concert.

01:20After two seasons, Mick was dropped from the team, his F1 career stalling before it even really began.

01:29David Beckham is more than just a footballer. He's a global brand, a fashion icon.

01:36One of his sons, Romeo Beckham, once dreamed of becoming a professional footballer like his father.

01:43He even joined the Arsenal Academy, which is like attending Hogwarts for aspiring footballers.

01:49But while Harry Potter excelled at magic, Romeo's footballing spells seemed to fizzle out.

01:55He eventually left Arsenal and pursued other interests, including modelling.

02:01Jordi Cruyff, total football, partial success.

02:05Johan Cruyff was a pioneer of total football, a very attacking style of play.

02:11His son, Jordi Cruyff, faced the massive challenge of trying to meet the high expectations set by his father.

02:18Jordi started his career at Barcelona, where Johan had revolutionised the team.

02:24He showed promise, but could never quite escape his father's shadow.

02:31He went on to have a respectable career, playing for various clubs, but the next Cruyff he was not.

02:41Leo Borg, serving up disappointment.

02:44Bjorn Borg is a tennis legend, with 11 Grand Slam titles.

02:49His son, Leo Borg, has been trying to carve out his own career in tennis.

02:54But so far, Leo has not been able to live up to the enormous expectations surrounding him.

02:59It's like trying to follow in the footsteps of a giant while wearing clown shoes.

03:07Nelson Piquet Jr., crashing and burning literally.

03:11Nelson Piquet Sr. is a three-time Formula One world champion.

03:16His son, Nelson Piquet Jr., is more known for being embroiled in scandal rather than for his on-track performances.

03:24After entering Formula One with Renault in 2008, Piquet Jr. was involved in the controversial Crashgate incident.

03:33He was ordered to intentionally crash his car to help his teammate win.

03:38The scandal rocked the F1 world and effectively ended Piquet Jr.'s career at the top level.

03:46The heavy crown of legacy.

03:49Being the child of a sports legend is a double-edged sword.

03:54On one hand, you have access to the best training and direct knowledge from someone who reached the pinnacle of their sport.

04:01On the other hand, the high expectations and constant comparisons can be crushing.

04:07Ultimately, everyone has their own journey.

04:10Ultimately, everyone has their own journey, and the shadow of their father's success is only part of the larger story.
