I think there are three things here - which are not mutually exclusive.
1. No amount of practice will enable me to break the 100m world record - or even probably be within 30-40% of it.
2. However, training would dramatically improve my time.
3. Most importantly, in life I could beat Usain Bolt by simply starting running 5 seconds earlier - ie for most things peak performance isn't what matters - it's effort/persistence.
