Is natural talent largely irrelevant to great success? Or is it "you've either got it or you don't"?

Talent???
Some have it all but cannot use it because of other problems.
We often hear if he or she had only trained more what would he have done. I heard this so many times when I was younger.
Here I am 73 and Herb Jones came up to me this summer in his wheel chair (he is 96 years old) and said "George if you had only trained more".
Two of my daughters had this, what I call natural talent for swimming they were dreams in the water. Linda was hit by a car and ever after that as soon as she attained the times that would get her a championship in her age group she had to stop swimming because her knee would swell like a ballon. So we did not continue. Janis was amazing at 10 but we moved to a town no pool for 200 miles end of swimming career.
