Genetics shape us in many ways including our potential to excel in sports. Training, diet, and other factors play a large role in developing our potential, but our genes may also limit performance. You may have the genetic potential for being a champion athlete, but if you live a lifestyle of overeating and no exercise you are unlikely to achieve that potential. On the other hand, someone with limited genetic potential can find ways to compensate and become a solid performer.

Genetics have a large influence over strength, muscle size and muscle fiber compostion(fast or slow twitch), anaerobic threshold, lung capacity, flexibility, and, to some extent, endurance. Soo you are more likely to be born with it.
