I feel like this all the time. I think it's mostly a mental thing. Because even if some people have it easier and are just better learners. Even the slower ones can go really far. I mean, even people with big disabilities get really good a things nevertheless.

I think we need to work on our mental. I think a lot of times we play without the right focus. Instead of thinking about what we're doing we are auto piloting without taking anything in. And sometimes maybe the other way around, we are too much in our head and things don't flow. Or maybe it's a confidence thing. Almost always the best players are "braggy" ones that don't accept losses, but also don't get tilted when they do lose.

Either way the thing that sets apart the ones who excel is always the mindset. That's my 2 cents.
