You missed the point.
The growth mindset is not a magic bullet that is a substitute for ability, rather the idea is that it is one component that helps someone make the most of their potential. So having the right mindset, working hard in the right way, and having the right physical attributes etc will allow you to become a better performer and to progress from a talented junior to a talented senior.
The right mindset has been identified as a common factor (and not the only one) amongst those making it to the senior level. Not all 'talented' people make it and not all who drop out do so because they have the wrong mindset but most people who do progress do have mostly the growth mindset.
