Anyone can be an elite performer with enough training and effort. Not everyone can be top 10 though. At some point genetics plays a role. But to be _elite_ does not imply being top 10. If you are ranked the 500th professional tennis player you are far from being a Nadal or a Federer, but that’s still an incredible level of performance. There’s only 500 other humans on the planet that can match up to you.
