Step-by-step explanation:

Rose asks Troy why he will not let Cory play football when Cory is trying to follow in his father's footsteps. Troy explains that when Cory was born, he decided he would not allow Cory to pursue sports in order to spare Cory from a fate like his own.

because he thinks he is protecting Cory from getting hurt the same way he did when he is playing baseball. And Troy view himself as a failure.
