I think we can. Look at many examples of sports figures who dreamed since childhood of being good at their craft, and they achieved it. Not everyone will get there, but the big part is to believe in yourself and do everything/anything to get there, with dedication and trust in your abilities. Also, positive thoughts create positive outcomes; no one who doubts himself ever reaches the top. The human mind is a powerful thing. Have a plan (many people miss that part) and execute it. Tweak it as you go, but be directionally correct, and you will get there. There are reasons why our cliches are popular (and true): "You can do anything if you put your mind to it," etc.

Yes, I think we can.
