If you know anything about world class athletics, then you know that genetics play the largest role in determining success. Training, diet etc only brings you to your genetic potential. A Japanese guy *can* win the Boston Marathon but a Kenyan who's better suited genetically and physically (also genetics) to distance running is a better bet. Thats not racism, that's just an obvious, undeniable fact. Over the course of time, there will never be a clear pattern of 5'2" robotic engineers, winning the Boston Marathon.


I know plenty about athletics bro.

I've heard every fucking excuse ever made.
It's all bullshit.
It's all about people not accepting that they got beat by hard work because everyone
thinks they work the hardest.

Blame it on genetics, blame it on steriods, blame it on and on and on except don't
dare blame it on simply not desiring it enough to do the work.

I watched too many lazy people laugh at my work outs and say I was stupid for
doing them but then the scholarship came and I was the only one holding it.

Go figure.
