“Genetics and your childhood environment matter, but only for a very limited number of pursuits in life. Genetics merely set the high and low ends of your capacity. Running a 10K under 45 minutes, deadlifting 2x your bodyweight, learning a new language, and swimming 500m in less than 8 minutes are within the grasp of most able people given the right mindset and training.”
