"I think it's a huge myth to think of athleticism as a talent and not a skill that can be trained. " Do people really believe this? You can get pretty far with training but the top athletes have talent AND work hard. Personally I was always one of the slowest, uncoordinated and weakest in any sport in my youth. When I was 16 I started martial arts and in a few years got myself from the bottom to someone who is generally regarded as pretty athletic. But I had to put in as much as work as other more talented guys who went on to win championship. Due to my lack of talent unfortunately championships were out of my reach but I am still happy with the improvement and it's probably one of the most important things I have done in my life.
