Nature + Nurture all the way

The difference between the greats and the almost-greats (which, by the way, applies well beyond sports) also appears to be at least partially driven by one specific thing — how each group responds to adversity. The greats rise to the challenge and put in persistent effort; the almost-greats lose steam and regress.

For a study from 'Frontiers in Psychology' , talent development researchers studied two groups :

  1. Super Champions - Athletes who overcame adversity & became world-class
  2. Almost Champions - Those who struggled in the face of hardship

It’s true that not everyone can be a world-class performer. Our inherited traits still matter, and even our willingness to exert persistent effort may be at least partially genetic.
