A short conversational excerpt from a YouTube video where speakers discuss the roles of innate talent versus discipline and effort in athletic success. Jim Johnson emphasizes that while some athletes appear genetically advantaged, discipline and sustained effort can allow less-talented individuals to surpass naturally talented peers.
You look at athletes, athletes have talent. Sometimes you look at them and just, just genetically, some of these, some athletes, you just look at them and genetically, and you're like, that is a different human being.
Like, Tyree Kill, he's the fastest person to ever run in the NFL. He's just born different.
So there's, there is that component.
And I would argue that, that, yes, he does have that, for sure. And, and lots of people, like you said, have talent. There's also lots of people that don't have a lot of talent that have superseded the people with talent because of the discipline and effort they put into the skill.
That's why it's both.
