If things such as athletic ability are given to us by luck of genetics., then so are things such as intelligence, emotional aptitude, charisma and common sense. |
Not only do you need to have good genes to succeed as an athlete, you also need to be lucky to have a good teacher/trainer and be born in a place where you are able to train. For instance, wealthy countries do much better than poor countries in the olympics because we have the money and time to develop great athletes. If Micheal Jordon was born in Nigeria and was more concerned about where his next meal was coming from than training to be an athlete, then he would not have become a star basketball player.
