How+Genetics+Influence+Athletic+Ability

[|How genetics influence athletic ability] Genetics play a large role in how athletic we are. However, even if we are extremely athletic and do not develop talent, we will not be successful in sports. Fast twitch muscles, strength, lung capacity, and flexibility are some categories that genetics greatly impact. Genetics also influence how your body responds to training, diet, and other external factors. An example of this is someone who is not born very athletic, but responds well to training of the body. Over time this person could excel more at a sport than someone who is born with talent. Genetics can also play a part in how well an athlete can mentally prepare for a competition. Someone who can not focus well, even if they have a large edge on talent, will usually be beaten by someone who is focused, or "in the zone".
