Subject: RE: Talent vs Training
Body:

Obviously genes play a huge role. Just the way you are built will be a huge factor in which sport you are more successful. Ex: Geb no matter what, would never be an NBA player, LaBron could never run a fast marathon, no matter how much he trained.

Ah, gotta love the people who truly believe that anything, including Olympic Gold, is capable in running with "hard work" and determination. They are all fools, but optimistic fools nonetheless.

Talent, my friends, is the 1st and foremost consideration in how far you can go in this sport (and all others for that matter). And yes, talent is directly related to genetics, aerobic capacity, etc.
