Sports person - Natural talent or practice

[avsurti]

Some people believe that to become successful in sports one should have a natural talent. Others think that perseverance and practice are a crucial part to success. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.


When sports have become a profession these days shear perseverance has become essential rather than just soft skills as “Hard work beats talent when talent does not work hard”

Sport is rather competitive than just an activity which helps stimulate the physical health. Though it is been included in the curriculum to maintain physical health it is also chosen as the area of framing career. Many perceive it as a profession and it is seen that sports persons excelling in a particular sport have some in-built qualities which aggravate their efforts. Genius in a particular sport have natural talent which allows them to upsurge their performance. To site an example of Sachin Tendulkar who was one of the player in coaching centre but only he could excel due to his natural talent and same is true for Vishwanathan Anand in chess competition.

On the other side it is also seen that despite having the natural qualities these players dipped themselves in the practice as every sharp weapon needs to be sharpened regularly. It is true that “Practice puts brains in your muscles” hence it is the only way to gain perfection. With keeping goal in the mind and churning self in the practice can only lead to a better performance. We can count number of players who succeeded in their field with putting endless efforts in sharpening their skills through practice. Particular quality or a technique can only be learned by regular and repetitive effort hence practice has upper hand on natural quality.

In conclusion, it can be said that despite having the natural talent practice becomes essential for every sports person
