I've been coaching ice hockey goaltenders for several years now and have come to notice certain characteristics between many of my students that distinguish them from one another. One of these characteristics in the ability for one student to progress and grasp concepts much better then others. With that, I can diagram a drill for two students at the same time and have them each perform the drill differently in terms of speed and tempo. Does this difference play into the concept of the "IT" factor that is that some players have it and others don't? And was is "IT"? |

Every person, including athletes, comes with a different set of skills that they will be better at due to current development and the genes they inherit from their parents. This difference from one athlete to another will be much more apparent in a school setting because not all of the athletes will be finished developing. |

Thank you for your response. I never thought to consider the inherited genes of that athlete. It makes sense that this would play apart in their development not only physically but athletically as well. |
