Yeah I don't buy into any of this goofy shyt.
People always want to believe in some magic gene, some inherent unidentifiable quality that helps to explain why some athletes are better than others.
And deep down, what this talk really serves to do...is to give the people who fail at sports comfort. Because it gives them an excuse. They weren't as good because of this other person who was special. They were born with this or that. Sure, on the surface people will spin this as some way to honor these great athletes and marvel what they achieve. But there's a subtext to this shyt.
Yeah everyone is different. So what.
Put in the work. Be consistent. There are many paths to greatness. I fukking hate the way people in sports try to insert some magic aura into it. Because you don't apply this to any other aspect of life. Oh some baseball player is elite because they have some inherent gift or they slow things down or view the world differently like Neo in the Matrix. Does this apply to your job too? Are you unloading Amazon packages instead of being Vice President of Sales because the VP was born with a special ability to communicate and foster relationships and you weren't? No? It only matters on the basketball court? Go fukk yourself.
