Prodigies and emerging stars who draw the interest of both fans and the media are nothing new in the world of sports.
One such star is 10-year-old football player Madden San Miguel, sometimes known as “Baby Gronk,” who is well-known for his unique size and exceptional athleticism.
But as his notoriety increases, so does the debate around Jake San Miguel, the Baby Gronk Dad, and his promotion of his son’s accomplishment.
Because of his exceptional football abilities and size, Baby Gronk became a social media celebrity.
He plays running back and safety, and he has more than 300,000 Instagram followers.
Who is baby Gronk dad?
Jake San Miguel, the father of Baby Gronk, is a skilled digital marketer and former high school football player who also played music.
He oversees his son’s internet reputation and has made a success out of his love for him.
According to Jake San Miguel, his son has been “trained and programmed” to be an athlete since he was six years old. He earns around $100,000 each year from endorsements and business connections.
Many people have raised concern over Baby Gronk’s father’s tactics, equating them with Lavar Ball, who was well-known for promoting his basketball-playing offspring.
Growing Criticism Surrounding Baby Gronk’s Early Fame and Father’s Promotion
Concerns regarding Baby Gronk’s father’s participation in fostering his sudden stardom are mounting as Baby Gronk’s popularity on social media keeps rising.
Numerous NFL fans have expressed displeasure about their recent joint appearances on podcasts and in interviews, with some saying that Baby Gronk’s father makes Lavar Ball “look like Dad of the year.”
Although Ball was successful in launching his kids’ basketball careers into the NBA, many say that Gronk’s father may be too encouraging his son’s ability.
In the films his father has posted, the young athlete rarely appears to be joyful, and questions regarding his physical growth have also been raised.
Given that he presently weighs 20 pounds more than any child in his grade, some have questioned if he will meet his father’s high expectations for height.
The interview in question has garnered special criticism since Baby Gronk finds it difficult to respond to questions on his own, and his father repeatedly steps in to give him the answers he needs.
This situation has given rise to worries that the little prodigy is already under a lot of pressure to live up to his father’s hopes of seeing him become a top athlete.
Jake San Miguel’s Response to the Criticism
In response to the criticism he has received as a result of his son’s popularity on the internet, Jake San Miguel has been interviewed by numerous media sources.
Anyone who objects to it, he claims, is envious and stuck in the past. But prominent writers and former NFL players have criticized his tactics and questioned how the situation has developed.
Since before his son was even conceived, Jake San Miguel has made it plain that he has had plans for him, and those plans are currently coming to pass.
Although many contend that this should not happen at the expense of his son’s childhood, he is devoted to ensuring his son’s prosperity and happiness.
