Genetically linked，highly heritable characteristics such as skeleton structure，distribution  of muscle fiber types，relax capability，metabolic efficiency，lung capacity and the ability to use energy more efficiently，are closely related with your athletic ability，which determines if you have a chance to be an elite athlete. The majority of athletic genes are come from your parents，who are good in those body capabilities.

The heritable characterristics can help you to do good performance，but they are not the only factor. Deng Yaping is an elite ping pong athlete，who is small many coaches don’t look to further increase though she have got many gold medals in our national games when she was a little girl. She was refused by coaches of national team again and again. As a young girl，the setbacks were cruel，without mading any allowance，to her. But she is the best one as we know，no one can beat her，and what she has done is keeping walking more faster and stronger，so she became the best athlete，and she is a strong woman，not only the body but the heart.

There are many elite athletes good at the events，some of them are perfect characteristics，while the others are poor they also have a perfect performance . Intelligence ，dedication ，serendipity are arbiter of who win and lose.

As an old saying，genius is one inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration，and where there’s a will，there is a way. If you want to be an elite man，what you should do is match with your dream.
