His point is that when you're born matters and that that usually is unfair for players like hockey players.

If that's the case when the maturation process is over, many many good players that could have been pros aren't targetted because of our narrow focus on statistics for success.

I appreciate the discussion, so dont think Im bailing, just had a few to many drinks tonight, I'll dig up my copy of the book in the morning. I really enjoy the study of econometrics, especially to non economics problems.
