D Before you read the next part think about the following: what other factors make you very good at a sport? Then read on and answer the question.

Megan Still was proof that having a perfect body for a certain sport can make a big difference. She was chosen in 1987 to be trained as a rower. She had never rowed in her life, but within ten years she had won a gold medal. Having a body perfectly suited to a certain sport is fantastic. However, you need to have good training and technique, and there are other genetic factors that can work in your favour.

Genetic study has shown that some people use oxygen more efficiently than others. Some people have a genetic mutation which means that there are more red blood cells in their bodies. Because of this, more oxygen circulates round their bodies and it allows them to perform better at endurance sports.

If you do enjoy a sport, don't stop it just because you feel you aren't physically suitable. There is no greater motivator than passion. Anyway, not everybody takes up a sport to become a professional athlete, and when you do start a certain sport, your shape changes to fit the sport if you train a lot. So don't look in the mirror and give up. Try it! There are always exceptions to the rule.
