Why some make it and others don't make it.
Every serious player has some talent. Some have more than others. Some have more speed. Some have more will. Some have more access to good pro teaching. Good equipment and sponsors. Wild card entries to big tournaments. Access to good practice partners. Good parents willing to pay for all the up front bills to start with. A good coach not only schools technique, but also confidence, consistency, mental psych ability, injury recovery, and suggestion at the right time for the right issues, to the point, so that the student learns the right thing and the right lesson at the right time! And yet, there are thousands of guys all over the world with the same types of training, same types of talents, same types of equipment, all crushing the ball, playing hard as they can, taking serious pathway towards improvement. Some make it and some don't make it. Why is that? Uncle Tony said, "I heard Jack Nicklaus say: "First learn to hit it far, then learn to keep it in.", and I taught this to Rafa."
Is it greater will power?
Is it greater psych ability or resistance to psyches?
Is it greater talent?
Is it better string/stick/shoes/socks, etc?
Is it greater hand eye speed/vision speed?

Is it simply more confidence whether the confidence is deserved or not?
Is it money?
Is it genetics?
Is it injury?
Anyone with any athletic training, or competition, knows what it feels like to come up against someone who is better than you are. You just know you are going to lose. They hit stronger shots. They are more consistent. They are more accurate. They are faster. They are more fit than you are. We also know what it feels like to come up against someone who is about the same level as you are. For different reasons. They are more consistent, but have no power. They are faster, but have no consistency. They are smarter tactically, but cannot hit a winner. They hit a shot you don't like but also cannot handle your kick serve.
What is the most important reason why some make it and almost no one does make it? Will and talent.
