This seems like the sports version of "nature vs nurture". I always fall right in the center of this one. I think its a combination. I could train my son 8 hours a day every day and he still wouldn't be an elite athlete (sadly he has my short and slow DNA). However, if someone is born with incredible talent but that talented isn't nurtured, he too will fall short. So you need to start with some natural talent and then put in a ton of hard work in order to maximize that talent.
