    there is true talent though, that comes from having something that others in a given role don’t have. Think about Kareem Abdul Jabar, Usain Bolt, or Tiger Woods. Kareem is ultra tall, immediate advantage in basketball. Having even a modicum of hand eye coordination is an immediate jumpstart that others just wouldn’t have, and the innate advantage of being tall isn’t something someone can get with practice. Same with Usain Bolt, long legs, genetics that make him innately faster. Tiger Woods was golfing incredibly well at age 5. He of course would have been good at several sports, but the hand eye coordination was there, the skeletal structure that allowed these movements to be trained more efficiently.
