If it is we may be missing out on some great performers. Larry Bird, who was slow and couldn't jump, was one of the greatest basketball players I have ever seen. Genetics is just a tiny bit of the puzzle. Let’s hope this kind of technology is never used. If it is we may be missing out on some great performers.

In case you haven't seen it, I recommend the movie Gattaca, which explores a similar issue. The tagline for the movie is: "There is no gene for the human spirit." Great post, as usual.

Winning is good, but you have to learn to win and lose and still enjoy it. If you play sport just to win and dont enjoy it, whats the point? rationalisation leading to irrational behaviour...

Btw has anyone thought about the fact that this study was done on elite athletes who had trained for years. Maybe, just maybe, training, nutrition, dedication, and the human spirit/will can alter genetics. Of course so many ppl will cry havoc about that statement but could any scientist disprove my statement? I doubt they would even ever try. They have been taught one thing and accepted it as truth and now look only for the evidence to PROVE what they already believe. Hmmmm so much for "science" :) and no I don't think science is evil or anything extreme like that, just that too many people accept what "authorities" say as truth just because the "authority" said it. Don't ever buy into that ideology. Observe for your self, Think for your self and determine your own path. Thanks for the great post Ross. Keep it coming brother!

How many times have I heard the story of Michael Jordan who wasn't good enough to make his highschool basketball team. We all know how that story ended.

Who u r after all trying to shape their destiny? Parents? And what about your own experience? About your own lifestyle? Remember if you not involved into any sport if you dislike sport activities and active life yourself you can choke pushing children hard into different sports but i strongly suggest (that's my own statistics) that later on in their lives they will accept your lifestyle in 8 cases out of 10. For example if all you have to boast is some achievement in your school years and you like to repeat "I was the champion of whatever" it won't make them follow your steps because "was" never enough... I mean children accept as a fun and a norm what they see around in everyday life,that's why alcoholics children so often becoming alcoholics themselves (i lived in one of former soviet union republics before in a really rough neighbourhood with asocial families and seen it all ) 7 of my childhood mates out of 10 those from families with alcoholics started to drink themselves,and the rest 3 because they found sort of a sheler or refuge in a sport (we started to do some sport in a wee shed,made a "club" there for ourselves made all equipment and all) not drinking at all. Now my another three mates from families with active lifestyle not doing any sport whatsoever because they been under pressure since they were small children and after reaching age of about 16 quit it all. They hate it. And only 2 people whom i know are absorbed sport as their lifestyle because parents just enjoyed being active themselves and never ever pushed their children. It was always kinda "up to you" attitude with good humour and all. So it's all really relatively i mean that with any tests it's impossible to control human life without ruining it... i meant if you are doin' it for fun expect your children will do same :) and if u're couch potatoe don't u think your child gonna be an active man (hard to predict though but just less likely) :) You're great man Ross Your power is in your lifestyle and your son most likely will enjoy the sport. I like your approach ,if you want to get fit just start doing something it's not about money it's about your imagination and dedication :) We were doing something similar,no money no facilities to train no good gyms around just few kettlebells, punching bag (self made) and skipping rope and you know what? We were alrite :) . I'm father myself have a daughter 8 years old and two more coming.. :) Sorry for my poor english btw Yeah,I hear lots of “kids should” and wot about leave them kids alone?
