Agreed that people who consider atheletic performance to have different roots than cognitive performance are doing it wrong. My point was largely that we should think about the whole bunch of factors- exercise, talent, community environment, training, etc. together.

On top of that, it would probably be helpful to recognize that our ideas of what counts as athletic or cognitive performance (for example) are, themselves, social.
