<p>Goood point! In order to “catch up” to someone ahead of you, they would either have to stop working/training, or you would have to put in HUGE amounts of intense hours to equal and match their skill levels. But never are two people’s work/training exactly equal. I read that Michael Phelps trained for 5 years straight (no joke, this was during his earlier years). He swam every day, and missed 0 practice sessions. Leading up to the Beijing Games (I think it was), Phelps stated in an interview that he would be swimming every Sunday (usu. a rest day ) because those x amounts of sunday’s would eventually add up to more hours of practice for competition. </p>
<p>How many people do you know have that kind of drive? How many have that work ethic and laser like focus?</p>
