Not sure how this message is supposed to be helpful or encouraging to the young man the OP is posting for. Talent and effort are huge pieces of the equation. MANY short players make it and it is because they have talent and effort and are willing to overcome any obstacles they face, just as other successful players do. To suggest otherwise to this young man is just wrong.
