"Endless Battle Between Genes And Practice"

How’s practice going for you? How are your performances’ going during games and/or meets? Are there people who just seem to just play or have better times then you, despite your effort you put it all on the practices? Or am I completely wrong and it is the exact opposite. You barely or put no effort in your work and you seem to get by just fine or do absolutely incredible in your performances, eclipsing others with less strain then any of your buddies or athletes. Either way your life plays out with you, this question has been asked by countless athletes and not to mention its also closely linked to the subject of “Nature vs. Nurture” in which scientist have debated which one affects us the most for years or decades. Our perspectives of everyday views are constantly changing these days but it seems that we have forgotten some topics that are lingering on an everyday basis in athlete’s lives. So what to do? We have to start somewhere don’t we? Why not start here in Southern? In the process of learning the answer to my question: “Talent Vs. Hardwork: Which one affects our performances more?” I’m going to have to go around the campus and talk to experts (Mainly coaches), students and team captains, the reason why I’m doing this is to look at the view of undergrad students who are either enrolled in a sport who are in the present time, captains who have more experience then the newly enrolled freshman, and of course the expertise of coaches and professionals who know athletes inside out. So where is the answer? We are going to find out.
