That sounds like something his grandmother says to him to make him feel better after each competition.

I don't know. I'm not a twin and I haven't ever really competed with my siblings in anything where it's so easy to compare and contrast results immediately. I do know that I'm genuinely happy for my siblings when they're doing well and the spotlight is on them. If we were competing for the same spotlight? I'm fairly competitive and I think I'd be pissed off at my sib if he or she beat me out, but that's me. I'd be more pissed off at myself. The sib would feel my wrath though.
This probably is a really cool opportunity to study the nurture nature thing. Is one more laid back than the other? Does Paul want it more than Morgan? Do they put the same effort into the workouts? Does Morgan have any issues with performance anxiety? I imagine their personalities and attitudes have a lot of impact on how they perform.
