Better Advantages

Yes some people who have raw talent are better than other that have to work for it and practice many times a day. Kids who have the talent don’t need to work for it they just have to show up and practice compared to the kids that have to work to get a spot on the team. The sport is all about the best of the best and if you don’t make the cut you aren’t good enough but many kids who are gifted at the sport.

After reading “The Mathew Effect” Gladwells opinion was that people who are born in the beginning of the year are more talented/ gifted because they are older and get put through things rather than the younger people. I agree because the older person is always chose over the younger person in most cases. This chapter did make me rethink my daily question because it is true that younger people are better/stronger. He used a roster of a hockey team to make his point and education gifted classes. Yes his sources were well chosen and were convincing.
