▶ Your Answer :
Many people hold
a belief that one could make someone a professional sportsman through a tough
education. A fundamental premise of this idea is that the determinants of being
an athlete are something that is acquired, not innate. However, I argue that true athletes are
gifted, natural born athletes. I would suggest two examples supporting this
idea. There are successful athletes who have not been received any formal training
and failures who have got plenty of support and quality education.
To begin with,
there are people who have precious ability to achieve more than anyone could. They
lack backgrounds of fancy career or experience of specialized training. With no
high-tech apparatus and reputational coaches, they just wait for an opportunity
that even they do not know it exists to activate their talent. For example, during the early decades of Olympic, an Ethiopia runner won the marathon competition
with the world record. What is noticeable is that he ran the whole track with
barefoot and no formal training. This striking athlete and his unprecedented
accomplishment perplexed some experts who believe the outcome is followed by the
extent of the input, that is, efforts and scientific aids. This representative
event had changed many people’s paradigm and made them reconsider the role of
talent for being an athlete.
On top of that,
uncountable people fail to become a fine athlete despite their hardworking
training. They fail not because they did not fully focus on their goal or lack
enthusiasm. They devote themselves to their dream with an unyielding will but fail
at the end. There are a lot of programs that teach youngsters sports. Among the
children taking these programs, few could gain what they deserve to get. As a
part-time job, I teach the middle school and high school students, and I have
seen many pupils who were frustrated about their results. I could not find a
proper word to soothe them because I know they couldn’t endeavor more than
that. Each student has one’s limitation that impossible to crash through efforts.
Their trials are valuable but standing out is an exceptional, just the same principle
that is applied for the field of sports.
To sum up, even
all trainees struggle to the same extent, it is predetermined which one would
become the foremost. In this regard, I agree with the suggestion that professional
athletes are born with gifts that can not be obtained by training. |
