Born with more fast / slow twitch fibres? Could you point me in
the direction of the evidence?

I know that, the long distance runner will have more slow twitch, 
and the sprinter more fast twitch. But this is because muscle tissue
adapts to the stresses placed upon it.

Look at the gold medal winning atheletes with Asthma. In theory, they
have a natural disadvantage, but they somehow won.

Oh yes, play to your strengths... but limitations....why? 

And think of the MILLIONS of people who, due to setting limits in front of
themselves never find their true vocation.

How many Einstein's, Van Gogh's, Newton's, Shakespears have we lost because
they were discouraged at the start?
