I'm suspicious of a study that uses athletes with skills that can be quantified via statistics. Most jobs aren't nearly as quantifiable, and so the interviewer has to evaluate on squishier things such as cultural fit. I'm thinking of Paypal rejecting that guy who liked to shoot hoops, mainly because he used the word "hoops." Not that using more squishier measures is wrong. It just is. Ergo, I don't see how this study means anything in the real world.
