Actually not true at all. Science shows anyone can accel if they put the work in, you have to do something at least 144 times for it to become muscle memory. (144 times perfectly to become perfect muscle memory) Can't speak for RC champions (maybe someone else can? I'm curious..) but in athletics those champions usually spend their entire life preparing for it. Boxers are great because they live in the gym, same with Jordan and durant, etc. in basketball. (there are Ms of people on this earth with the same athleticism/deminsions of these guys who never picked up a basketball, they're constanly asked by strangers "youre huge! why dont you play basketball!") Tiger woods picked up a club when he was 2, that's 19 years of experience before he won his first major.

if you spent your life at the track you could be a champion too! Lol.

Your talent limit = doubting yourself
