Question

As per the coach of a hockey team, like any other challenging sport, hockey requires intense practice in order for one to become proficient. But many hockey programs encourage only children who demonstrate early talent to continue practicing hockey, while children who are not especially talented in hockey are directed towards other activities.

The hockey coach's statements, if true, would best support which of the following conclusions?
