I’m not saying they are 100% nothing in regards to genetics or something, but do you think there may be players out there who have had to work harder since they may not have had those natural skills as football players? Genetics maybe due to height or speed or other things but what do you think?
My guess is most journeymen who hop from League to league in Asian, African or Latin American countries may have to rely on work ethic as much as natural talent/gifts?
In pro football recruitement this is the list of priorities:
talented + hard work
hard work, but no talent.
talent, but not hard work
no talent and not hard work
