Some People believe that to be successful at a sport you need a natural ability and others think that hard work and practice can make you successful. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Over the

last

decade, there is a tremendous rise in the number of people playing sports.

This

trend has led to an ongoing debate on the factors to the success of a sportsman. A section of the society thinks that players with the inherited ability can prosper in sports, while the other believes that

one

can achieve success with hard work and practice. I feel that a mix of both is needed, and

this

essay will elaborate on my view

further

and discuss both sides in details with relevant examples. On the

one

hand, if a person is born talented,

one

can quickly grasp the techniques of the required game.

For example

, Sachin Tendulkar, who is the greatest player of cricket, the game ever had started playing internationally at the age of 16 years.

Likewise

, it is not difficult to find similar examples in other sports

such

as football and hockey. It is mainly due to the natural ability

one

posses, not training and guidance.

Therefore

, it is not wrong to say that natural

talent

is

one

of a factor to become a successful sportsman

On the other hand

, some people argue that dedicated training and guidance can transform anyone into an established player.

For example

, a natural-born dancer may possess a flexible body and understanding of music, but to become an experienced choreographer,

one

needs proper training in various dance forms. They are ignoring the fact that competition is at its peak nowadays.

One

needs

talent

with hard work and a lot of practice to outshine others in the game. To conclude,

although

talent

provides a right start, adequate guidance and discipline provides right direction. I, personally, feel that a correct proportion of both,

talent

and skill is needed for a player to become an extraordinary

one

.

Therefore

, I urge the government to provide free coaching to shape budding aspirants into world-class sportsman.
