Everyone starts off with different genetics, we all potentially have different abilities, but those genetics are very often counting for not very much, when that born talent doesn’t put the work in.
I will guarantee if you gave me two people, one who picks up things easily to start with, and someone who struggles with strength, balance, movement, coordination, then most of you over a 12 month period-5 year period would pick the more genetically individual.
Then let’s tell a story of things haoppening in life frequently.The genetically gifted person starts off well trainng often, but after a few weeks starts to miss sessions, and then hardly shows up at all.The more physically awkward individual shows up most days with a great attitude, starts seeing results from minor victories and although takes longer to learn new stuff, will spare the time to learn it until they get good at it.
The more gifted individual starts eating badly, has fizzy bottles of soft drinks on the way home from school/work daily, lives on processed food and takeaways, stays up late, and becomes an expert of the latest TV show/MAKE THAT SHOWS and becomes an expert too of living a false life on social media!That once god-given talent slowly disappears into an ancient memory, and that rut they get in becomes a massive struggle to ever get out of, they have to learn to work hard and discipline themselves for the first time in their lives-most do not want to do that.
The less gifted individual changes their diet from top to bottom because of their promising results, energy starts to flood through their body, and they start to receive compliments on their appearance and performance in sports they previously were afraid to have a go at. Self-confidence, self-esteem starts to go through the roof and all areas of their life imoproves.
To cut a long story short, if I put those individuals against each other a few months late in all sorts of tests, there would be no comparison proving that genetic gifts count for NOTHNG unless that talent works continuously hard, and hard work, attitude, consistency will ALWAYS win the day over the longer term.Anyone can be coached to a very high standard as long as they open up their minds to what is REALLY possible in life, stay humble, keep their head down and quitely put a ton of work in relentlessly.View insights0 post reachLikeCommentSend
