Why do you think that sports icons know anything about what influenced their lives?

  Why do you think they don't? They are at the top of their game. The effect of years of passion, skill and above all, hard work. Pretty much exactly like an entrepreneur. One would think that along the way they have been able to surmise and account for many of the things that got them there. I've yet to see one that doesn't have extremely dedicated and supportive parents, notably fathers.

    I suspect they usually don't because human psychology is non-obvious, and most of them don't spend much time learning about psychology. I think you will agree with me that even many experts make large mistakes in their views on human psychology, as the linked guy has done.
