Mike like I said I think both pedigree and training are important. I
think they are equally important. You won't have one without the other.

To the people that are using the Michael Jordan analogy. the major number
one flaw in it is that Humans are not being bred for genetic potential. I
have never heard of people in modern times selecting there mates ( or had
them picked for them) with the goal to improve the human race genetically
over time. I have heard of a few people think that they were superior and
that the world deserved their genes.

in keeping with the analogy though I bet Mr. Jordan will be much better
at sireing athletes than I will be. I think that humans tend to marry and
raise kids with someone with similar likes and dislikes. So an athlete
would more than likely marry another athletes or at least someone
physically active. Then when the child is growing up the will play games
with the child a) it is fun for them b) fun for the child c) parent has
learned that it was their way to succeed and would like for their child
to have the same opportunity.

So I have made the point that training and conditioning are very
important. If the genes for the sport are not there then all the training
will be wasted.
