To illustrate the authors example I know many hockey players. A couple are pro but the rest are not. They all started in peewee and played straight into junior A though only a couple went on from there. Neither that went pro were Sidney Crosby no matter how much they practiced.
That example can be applied to any other area aside from hockey. To be an outlier takes practice and effort yes but a whole lot more that we can't always control.
