Differences in Coaching Black and White Athletes

Let me state my summarized philosophy and tell me if anyone agrees with it. Keep in mind that the “ideal” training situation i speak of is impossible and has surely never been achieved. Ideal situation would mean “ideal” in every possible way. This person got 10 hours of sleep every day of their life. Early exposure to the sport. Never missed a workout in his life. Never ate any junk food in his life. Took ice baths whenever he needed to, got massages. Did 1000+ reps of corework for years and years. Somehow was exposed to any supplement he ever wanted and any sort of scientific advancement that could possibly help him such as therapeutic modalities and nutritional or pharmaceutical means of improvement. He had the very best coach and training program and was exposed to high levels of competition his whole life. I’m talking about absolute perfection.

“If a male of average genetics was exposed to these “ideal” situations he could become a world class athlete or even a world record holder”

Does no one agree?

I don’t agree.

You take an average person and put them in this “ideal” situation and I guarantee you that someone out there is faster without ever training.

You take an above average person and put them in an “ideal” situation and someone out there in an absolutely un-ideal situation will run faster.

You take two extremely talented people and the one in the ideal situation will potentially run faster.

I think you’re attributing too much to environment and not enough to nature.
