I think it's mostly genetic, childhood education or dramatic life changes. I have rarely seen anyone who has zero discipline slowly acquires very good discipline without any significant changes in his/her life.
- analog31 5y agoIndeed, I've noticed that people who are self disciplined tend to have self disciplined children. I made the mistake of reading a number of parenting books, and they pretty much all start out with some form of: "You must be self disciplined or this method won't work."

About William sisters, wasn't their father the first coach? Not to indicate anything but it falls in childhood experience catalog I think.
