practice is what you need to be good at everything, but the same amount of practice will lead to very different performances between individuals...
Not just that, maybe I can have the same amount of pool skill than other people from the point of view of number of game won, but I'll have my stile that can be more enjoyable (or less) to watch compared to other players, or can tell something about me to people watching me playing.
Now I'm starting to hope that this "news" of the recent years that practice is an absolutely fundamental factor for success does not get misunderstood in this way. I know plenty of people that practiced years after years in the most different disciplines and they simply suck, because talent is not water.
