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”

I think your goal of realizing your maximum potential is an admirable one. But my personal philosophy is that achieving your potential is impossible, because there will always be things that you could have done better. Just as this “ideal situation” is impossible, so is maximizing your potential in my humble opinion.

Does no one agree?

I agree with you, but the one thing ( And I got this from John Smith) is that you can’t forget the willpower of a person.

A person who has the greater willpower can achieve many great things even though on paper the persons data indicates he/she is just average.
