Why practice?

If Michael Jordan was blessed with God given talent then why did he practice obsessively?

If the Beatles had the Midas touch then why did they spend so many years in obscurity.

If Jackson Pollock was naturally gifted then why did he spend so long churning out average work?

If the talented don’t have to work for it, if they can turn it on whenever they want, then we can rule out Michael Jordan, The Beatles and Jackson Pollock as naturally gifted.

They must have been skilled.
