What if everything we believe about talent is wrong? When a rotund Irish geography teacher who knew "absolutely nothing about running" became the world's most successful athletics coach, training virtually every prize-winning Kenyan middle-distance runner for decades, something didn't add up. In 2011, Kenyans claimed nineteen of the twenty fastest marathon times worldwide. Scientists scrambled to explain it-studying their slim calves, analyzing altitude adaptations, searching desperately for genetic advantages. But here's the uncomfortable truth: at the 1999 Marathon World Cup, Europeans dominated the top five spots, with the first East African finishing ninth. Just ten years later, Kenya and Ethiopia completely owned the podium. Did running genes somehow migrate across continents in a decade? The real answer reveals something far more powerful-and accessible-than genetics. What separates Jamaica's sprint dominance from Britain's perpetual disappointment isn't DNA but something psychologist James Flynn calls "capitalisation": the percentage of human potential in a community that's successfully unlocked. Jamaica doesn't have more sprint talent per capita; they simply have superior systems for finding and developing it. Their formal athletics structure starts children competing at ages two to three, with kindergartens employing coaches and six-year-olds running in the National Stadium before crowds. The revelation is both humbling and electrifying: creating exceptional performance isn't about discovering genetic unicorns but uncovering existing potential that surrounds us everywhere.
