That’s the case for everything. I remember training in a boxing gym with some pros. Everything was on a level so much higher than I had seen before and I raised my own level a ton until I had to realize that my natural speed and strength was just not sufficient to really make it.

I think that’s also why children from high achieving families usually do better in adult life. What they view as “normal” is just a higher standard than what most children see. I remember being friends with the son of the local (big) factory owner. They communicated with their children on a totally different level than what I was used to with my parents. When they entered professional life they had a better understanding of the business world than most of us will ever achieve.
