Genetics and talent
genetics, starting age, willingness to roid, avoidance of injury, dedication
wealth as well, if you look at Olympians you find that almost all of them come from upper class family's.
wealthy people can buy their children the best equipment, trainers and can affords to take time off work to take them to competition.
this of course depends on the sport, anyone can play basketball but sailing or fencing are rich kid sports.
Bbc genetics and the correct mentality
neuromuscular recruitment capacity

roiding at 12
genetics
spatial intelligence (mostly genetic)
resistance to injury
dedication and focus
luck
a good coach
a good agent
Best boxers in recent years: Usyk/Lomachenko (slav)
Best MMA fighters in recent years: Fedor/GSP (slav/white)
Pretty sure SLAV genetics is the correct answer you fucking nig nog and/or cuck degenerate.
genetics
you could reach the collegiate level in most sports through heart and effort alone, so don't think "genetics" means you don't have to work hard
Best boxers: Anthony Joshua, Deontay Wilder
Best MMA fighters: Jon Jones, Anderson Silva
BBC genes
collegiate athlete here, its all about how fast your body responds to training,take away genetics, roids, coaching, making it short its all about how your body responds to such stimulus, if you are the kinh of people who can gain endurance,strenght,speed, flexibility,hand eye coordination without affecting other areas you probably have it, i believe in god and there are some chosen ones who are just random picked by destiny and overnight they become great and wealthy athletes,i have met a lot and know a lot, of course the dedication exists all you want but its all about how fast your body adapts
calm down you triggered polcel SJW
Lmao, Deontay Wilder and AJ are good for HW's but definitely not the best. Prime AJ could barely finish old man Klitschko and almost got knocked out by him. Anderson Silva got finished by several white men in his prime. Jon Jones is the only exception but he's the biggest steroid cheat in the UFC.
>Anderson Silva got finished by several white men in his prime.
No surprise. White men love finishing the BCC
stop this genetic war bullshit ffs,you have no idea the tears sacrifice and pain behind those guys abd you talking like omg white men is superior black men is better shut the fuck up, stop living off others
Cuck detected
Cuck, support those of your race/ethnicity over those of foreigners. We are pulled together by common ancestry, culture, religion, etc.
skin color
So, genetics?
im an ex college athlete,i have met guys from all ethnicies,from blue eyed germans to black, native americans whatever, the day you get as far as me in life and you meet as many people as i have met you will understand what im talking about, you are a kid, you can be 20, 30, 40 but you are a kid, there is no race in sports kid, its all effort dedication suffering,some guys leaving because their grades and performance aint good enough, not worth to tell you anything, keep being a kid, die being a kid you desdrve nothing on life but browsing this shithole
its more deep than genetics its even more, hard to explain you need to live it
based mid-20s spitting knowledge to the underage kid going through his Jow Forumsphase
Compatibility with roids
Current college athlete here, I have met guys of all races from Indian, east Asian, black, etc. I can respect them for their achievements and handwork but I will still always respect/ like my ethnicity(med bvll) more than others because we have a commonality.
pathetic
Several factors, but I think these are the most important two of them, in my opinion.
Genetics
Your genetic makeup might give you lots of potential at a particular sporte. Explosiveness, strenght or endurance potential and many more are highly dependant on the gifts you got when you were born.
Say, as an example, that your ratio of slow-twitch fibers versus fast-twitch fibers is slightly higher than the average, that would make you an excellent long-distance runner.
On the other hand, had you a slightly higher proportion of fast-twitch fiber would give you the potential to excel at strength sports.
Now, bear in mind that the differences between outliers on each extreme of the bell curve is not that much, but being the other factors equal, the guy with the best genetic makeup than the other will surpass him greatly.
Upbringing
How young were you when you first started at your sport, were you physically active in your childhood? and such things. You see, wehn you're a kid your brain is creating neurla connections for motor patterns all the time. Once you hit puberty and during your teenage years it reinforces those you used the most and gets rid of the ones you didn't. That's why it gets harder to learn new things such as playing an istrument or practicing a sport as you grow older. And that's why so many people who excel at something started at a very young age.
And as someone mentioned, having parents with the resources and time to get you into sports helps a lot.
That being said, all things being equal (training, upbringing, resources, injury avoidance, roids, whathaveyou) the guy with the best genetic makeup will surpass the competition most of the time.
Exceptions apply depending on the sport, though.
absolutely based. the wisdom of a california high school senior. we need more well-traveled individuals like you

Wrong. Most of them come from dirt poor countries. Look at Lu Xiaojun
X collegiate athelete here. On average blacks are a little faster and a little bigger (ffmi at a given height). Their faster maturation, means they peak earlier, meaning coaches and scouts will give them more attention. There are plenty of good white guys too, but these minor advantages are magnified when selecting the top 1/10th of 1% of the best college talent for the pros. As adults whites are actually bigger and stronger on average than blacks. Without our coaching, roids, supps, tech, food and organizational skills niggers are just niggers.
>Wrong. Most of them come from dirt poor countries. Look at Lu Xiaojun
>one exception.
c'mon user, its pretty obvious that wealth is an advantage in all walks of life, sports included.
bullshit. talented kids will be scouted out soon enough and be provided the right equipment by their teams or sports federation
This.
cringed hard
that only happens in sports like basketball or football where training someone up to a world class level can make millions, most Olympians will only make a profit if they win gold.
do you know who won the gold in archery or speed skating, no cause there is no money in it.
but you sure as hell know who Lebron james is.
>speed skating
Yes I do. Sven Kramer, Kjeld Nuis, and Ted-Jan Bloemen. For women probably Ireen Wust.
>Lebron james
Who? sounds like a nigger
fucking amerishart. Most civilized countries have government subsidized sporting programs and talented youths will get the sponsoring they need. I understand that in your country sport only exists as a means to make money and competitive success is second to that but that's not how it works for the rest of the world.
>The New York Athletic Club, a major supporter of top U.S. fencers, covers much of that,
Maybe next time don't provide links that disprove your own point.
you really think every singe person who wants to be a fencer gets their cost covered?
even if they cover much of the cost your parents still spend thousands.
maybe try not cherrypicking and actually disprove the meat of the argument.
You're the one cherrypicking by talking about fencing, which is notoriously expensive and elitist.
>you really think every singe person who wants to be a fencer gets their cost covered?
That was never my argument anyway. A talented person with the ambition to become professional will. Yes if you try to force an untalented kid into the position of olympic fencer you deserve to waste thousands on that, but any good kid will get the sponsoring they need, as once again proven by the very article you linked.
Lmao at this coping nordcuck. Literally no one has heard of those nordcucks while LeBron James is known all over the world.
>calling others cuck while praising king nigger for apparent reason
No user, you are the cuck
Genetics, Dedication, Talent, Dexterity, and Training.
>fedor/GSP
