In order, they are inherent ability, motivation, opportunity, and direction.  \nInherent Ability  \nIt is easy to see the important role that genetics (inherent ability) plays in becoming successful in sports. Picture in your mind an Olympic female gymnast, a male shot-putter, an NBA center, and a jockey. You undoubtedly see a petite, trim girl; a large, powerful man; an extremely tall man; and a short, lightweight man or woman. These are simply the necessary body types for success in women’s gymnastics, shot putting, rebounding basketballs, and riding a winner in the Kentucky Derby. Such athletes don’t achieve their anatomical structure through training; they are born with bodies that adapted perfectly to their sport. The individuals have little control over their basic body designs. Their genetic makeup was inherited from their parents.  \nNow think about a successful distance runner. What do you see? Someone who is short, tall, muscular, or very lean? There have been, and still are, outstanding runners with a variety of body types, but physiologically they are as similar in their anatomic design as are female gymnasts or NBA centers. You can’t see the physiologic characteristics that make some distance runners great and others not so great, but there are inherent qualities that separate one runner from another, just as surely as bod","cbCaiul21phZ2cFx","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiul21phZ2cFx","pdf",895820,36,"English","# Some Basic Laws of Coaching\n## Core coaching guidelines\n## Health and training readiness\n# Ingredients of Success\n## Inherent ability\n## Motivation","[{\"question\":\"Why must coaches treat each runner as an individual?\",\"answer\":\"Because time available, time of day, background, and variables like age, health, body composition, and fitness differ across runners.
