versus

has always been a debatable one in society.

While

some believe that some of us are just born with innate abilities to dominate in physical activities,

others

believe that it's perseverance through each and every day that gets us to success in

. On the one hand, it can be argued that an individual's natural ability in

is the biggest factor that leads to success.

This

is because these people aren't wasting any

getting used to the feeling of playing the game. It's almost as if their foundations were already rock solid before they started unlike many

more

, putting them a cut above the rest. As an example, a survey done between the Ivy League schools has shown that over 60% of the top athletes of the schools spend most of their

of going over the basics again and again. Most of them explained their reasoning in that the basics of the

On the other hand

others

instead

choose to have faith in the gruelling nonstop training process that over

This

belief stems from the fact that putting in the effort to train day by day, makes people feel like they are in control of the situation where their actions in the present would be the direct cause for future progress,

instead

of having everything pre-determined by luck. Not only that, it's logical to believe that if we don't put in the

work

for anything, even if we have

talent

, that potential would remain untouched as we haven't put the

work

in to do so. Research conducted by New York University illustrates

pretty well as when reviewing the track record of 100-star athletes in a variety of

, they noticed how 40% of proclaimed geniuses consistently ranked below athletes who are known for their rigorous training programs.

This

just goes to show that

talent

can only take you so far. In conclusion, even though it's common thought that being good at

sports

is mainly

due to

innate talents, it has been proven on other occasions that it's hard

work

that outshines

talent

Use synonyms

. Personally, I believe that there are many different ways to achieve the same outcome of excellent achievements, especially in

sports

where both

talent

and hard

work

play a big role.

However

, to truly reach new heights of accomplishments, I think that a balanced combination of

talent

and hard

work

is necessary to stand atop all
