While talent can be effective in sports, I think success in a sport is attributed to other crucial factors like discipline, determination, and hard work. I believe hard work and willpower play a more prominent role in sports than talent. If you are talented but lack the determination to exercise daily, what is the point of being talented? You probably won't be successful if you are just talented and lack discipline.
