Notes -
The concept is because sports in high school can be a really big deal. Especially in the South, or small towns really. The high school football team can be something of local stars not just in their social circle but in the town at large, unrelated adults go to these games and they can be a big deal. But there's an expiration to all that, think of it like Kpop girls or a boyband. This applies to girls to but less so. It can be easy to rest on your laurels in this situation because your never going to be a bigger deal than when you were the town darling but nobody is very impressed by a pudgy 45 year old who keeps going on about the glory days. That's basically it high school sports can turn American teens into kinda sorta child stars. Now there's other archetypes like cool burnouts who remain losers but the concept comes from America's focus on high school athletics which is why it's so interwind with the jock archetype.
