That's my gut feel, although I am sure that you also filter some applicants that are not coachable, etc. Of course, I don't know how many of the athletes you coach never overachieve despite the hard work/high volume.
Thanks. Very interesting. Seems like a bit of an odd assertion but I guess it's impossible for me to confirm or reject how genetically 'normal' my sample is other than to see the same patterns show as it gets larger.
Regarding those who fail to 'overachieve' despite the hard work, obviously there is a range of response but, at the numbers that I am talking about, i.e. 1000+ hours, all who have done that (to date) have achieved KQ. I would be hesitant to say that they 'over-achieved' given that other, more genetically 'talented', athletes have also achieved a KQ on almost half that volume
Of course, you could be right. Perhaps I just haven't come across all of the guys like Eric - the 1000hr a year for 10 years (!) guys who still fail to KQ. Based on my experience to date, I doubt it but I am open to that possibility.
