Sure. But also remember that many successful people came from humble backgrounds and achieved what they did mostly by working their fucking asses off to make the most of their abilities. Effort is something that is readily apparent in professional sports. Many talented players wash out in the NFL because of lack of effort. Compare that with Jerry Rice, considered to be the greatest wide receiver of all time: Rice is also remembered for his work ethic and dedication to the game. In his 20 NFL seasons, Rice missed only 17 regular season games, 14 of them in the 1997 season, and the other 3 in the strike-shortened season of 1987. His 303 games are by far the most ever played by an NFL wide receiver. In addition to staying on the field, his work ethic showed in his dedication to conditioning and running precise routes, with coach Dennis Green calling him "the best route runner I've ever seen." One of the best known examples of his dedication and ethic may be "The Hill", a long and steep hill in Edgewood County Park & Natural Preserve, that is "two and a half miles up". Rice would sprint across the hill literally every day to improve his abilities. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Rice https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Rice
