The article links another one by Slate that mentions genes and age (when starting the activity). The main article also mentions personality and life history.
Genes seems to be a big one though, at least in the Slate article, and I suppose natural talent necessarily has a genetic dimension to it.
Bullshit, that’s just a excuse for the lazy. Unless your body isn’t able to do something due to a condition, you can achieve mastery on everything. Talent will heavily reduce training hours, though…
tl;dr: practice provides an 18-26% improvement, and the rest I guess is just natural talent?

Makes sense to me. You are either capable or incapable of doing something (badly and otherwise). Practice is just refinement over that.
