I do value athletics highly and I believe I could overcome my vertical ineptitude, but the reality is that my stature gave me an advantage in wrestling and a major disadvantage in basketball, so I went with what worked and put my effort into being a wrestler.
This is why natural ability is such a hard thing for me to accept - I really believe that I can be good at anything, and I believe that is true of other people as well, but if they don't believe it, how will it happen?
It's kind of a chicken and egg problem, or maybe a qualia problem. I have an empowering imagination and I surround myself with like people. I can't imagine someone else lacking that - but maybe some people do? I don't know, its a little frustrating.

To me, what you can do in life all comes down to a Henry Ford quote: "Whether you believe you can, or you believe you can't, you're right."
