It just means that working hard is part of the picture, arguably the biggest part since all of the (physiological) talent in the world won't mean squat if you don't train, and will never be fully realized if you don't train hard. Until someone can pinpoint those gene sequences that bring rise to world beaters, then genetics is just a categorical excuse for not trying.
Well I agree with that. Your previous comment made it sound like you attributed everything to genes.
