Athletic ability..Nurture or Nature???

Having an athletic ability would it be nature or nurture? first of all nature is something you have genetically and nurture is something you learned also sayed as ¨enviromental¨. I choosed the topic of athletic abilities because it is something that peoples struggles of it like if it was nurture or nature. In my opinion a athletic ability it is both nature and nurture, for example lets see the soccer players like Ronaldinho or Messi, these both players have great abilities that some people think if it genetical or enviromental. As I said before they are both because a player can be born to be a great soccer player but without training it will not work. Yes, it can come genetically but to be able to get to be a famous soccer player you have to train hard. Also, I think that looking if it is biological if very difficult for the reasons above. In th next paragraph their are some opinions of experts and how they are trying to solve this problem.

 Some thoughts of psychologists are ¨ Is a child's athletic ability inherited, or simply a product of training? If one parent has schizophrenia, will his child acquire the disease? The genetic foundations of behavior are studied by behavior genetics, an interdisciplinary science which draws on the resources of several scientific disciplines, including genetics, physiology, and psychology. From a genetic point of view, physical traits, such as the color of a person's hair, have a much higher heritability than behavior. In fact, behavior genetics assumes that the genetic bases of an individual's behavior simply cannot be determined. In theory, these links probably exist; in practice, however, researchers have been unable to isolate traits that are unmodified by environmental factors. ¨ In this paragraph is an opinion of some psychologists that what they think is that they are having many difficulties looking for a idea that explain what an athletic ability is. In my opinion this athletic ability are bot biological, and enviromental because some people have the genetics to be a great athlete but only because of the genes you will not be the best, you also have to have hard training to get to a great position, until you become one of the best one like early last year Lionel Messi demonstrated and also Ronaldinho in some years before that demonstrated being the best three years in a row. That are experts and my opinion of what could this subject could be.

                                                                

In conclusion, what could this subject be? This is a very interesting topic to research about. Finaly, I think that not all people are born with a future for greater abilities like these two athletes and their or much more in other different sports. As experts said , this is a subject that could not be determined if it is biological or enviromental but in my opinion it is both. Also not always could be biological because if a person is not good in a sport and practice a lot and then be the best it would mean something else. This topic could be nature or nurture, all of the people have different points of views and their could be many different arguments about this.
