Nobody who wins the 100m at the Olympics does it on their first race.
They've spent years practicing and preparing.
Similarly, most people who practice running every day will never
qualify for the Olympics.
To be top of your game, you've got to have a combination of talent,
experience, skills, and knowledge. I think that's at the crux of
Gladwell's 10k hours concept.

doesn't research tend to show that, regardless of inborn aptitude,
that "talent" tends to correspond with incredible commitment to
practice and experience? (Malcolm Gladwell's 10,000 hours concept,

In our work, talent is something that is naturally born. Anyone can
learn to hit a baseball, but a real talented player can hit it in a
way that non-talented players will never master.
