Band 5.5

It's generally believed that some people are born with certain talents, for instance for music and sport, and others are not. However, it's sometimes claimed that any child can be taught to become a good sports person or musician. Discuss both ideas by giving your opinion.

People have differing opinions as to what makes a high achiever. Some believe that a
person
 has got to possess certain innate traits to become an excellent performer while the other school of thought is that anyone can become an excellent performer if being taught in a right way. I tend to gravitate towards the latter school of thought.
Firstly
, we have to admit that in certain realms

 life, to achieve greatness, you have got to have the right genetics, to illustrate; a shorter

Secondly

 sports and music that it wouldn’t be irrational to believe that they were born with these characteristics, enabling them to excel in their chosen fields.
However
, I strongly believe that talent is massively
overhyped
 in our culture. If we examine the lives of top performers in any field
such
 as Tiger Woods in Golf or Mozart in music, we would realise that these people didn’t have any inborn attributes that we normally associate with geniuses. What in fact happens is that
such
 people normally are exposed to the areas that they would grow up to excel in, later in their lives, from a very tender age. There is indeed no
such
 thing as a child prodigy which is evident from biographies of almost all of highly
recognised top

 performers.
In addition
, these people spend a painstaking amount of time perfecting their
acts whether

acts, whether
 be it symphonies or a particular kind of move in sports. To conclude, in spite of the fact that most people believe that talent is inborn, I beg to differ with
this
 notion and believe that as long as the trait in question is not purely physical, like height, any child or
person
 can become a top performer in their chosen domain with enough time spent in practice.
