This may come as a surprise, but factors like this are included when considering a person's talent for a particular discipline. It's not just about reaching a particular baseline without training... it's also about how effectively you can train yourself to become even better.
Of course, the same way your height and weight is also taken in consideration when joining a hockey team. However, natural attributes can only take you so far. We all love the myth of the naturally gifted who crushes the competition because it is his/her God given right. In reality, their training regiment is still extremely harsh. Guys like Mozart, Michael Jordan, Floyd Maywheather still had to give up their entire lives to their craft to attain that level of success. Students in medicine are notorious for having no life beside studying, training, thinking about their discipline.
Believe it or not but it was revealed that resilience and consistency were the ultimate, determining factor for success, yes, even more important than IQ. Not saying that IQ doesn't contribute; let's be careful with our words. Having a high IQ simply means you have an easier predisposition to attain that goal but you beating your competition and attaining that goal is a whole different thing.
