Well it is documented that it worked like this for Rowdy Gaines, Steve Crocker, Ed Moses and others.
No. They developed their VO2max the same way everyone else does--through years of training. Natural ability probably didn't hurt either. You can't prove a causal relationship between summer league and Olympic success.
If your training is adequate but is not producing the results you want, then you need to refine your technique. And that may mean less yardage while you modify/overhaul your stroke; in the long run it will pay off.
