@david_epstein: Sheila Taormina missed the Olympic trials at 22 and walked away from swimming. Four years later she was on the podium. Then she went back for three more Olympics in two more sports. Nobody in history has done that. She didn't find more discipline; she figured out where to focus.

You can read the book "The Goal" and learn about the theory of constraints. It was very popular in the 90s not sure if it is still recommended reading.

in chemical reactions, it's called the rate-determining-step

I appreciate the idea, but strictly speaking, that is not a bottleneck like in the model. Improvements in cardio still had additional gains, she just found another area where the marginal gains from training were larger per unit of training.

The book is called The Goal, it's about an accountant removing the bottlenecks.

Funny how they write books of exactly the opposite: focus only on your strengths.

that's not his theory. The idea of a rate limiting step in science has been around for much longer

Some people are so unconstrained by making a living for themselves that it's honestly insulting.
