Very interesting read. What I would add is dealing under pressure. Athletes need to learn how to work through mental and physical pressure through practice allowing the physiology to work by secreting the necessary hormones and activators to deal with the pressure. The brain grows by finding ways of dealing with stress , pressure . This needs to be trained on the pitch off the pitch and by going towards stress......ice therapy and resisted exercise gradual increased duration such as the plank is a way of training the system.....it does however take unique individuals as you correctly mentioned.....these are the champions and leaders in their individual sports....and art forms..
