This is pretty much bang on.
That said, the racket sports set up in Scotland it still very elitist and viewed generally as such and "poofy" by a lot of the very same wee fannies the sports have to try and attract.
I like to think that hard work AND talent are necessary to get to the top of most, if not all, sports. I've known guys who try so hard and have parents very driven also, but ultimately they are just not "talented" however much they try and chuck time, money and effort at their chosen sport. It's sometimes quite funny watching the story pan out but I'm something of a cruel cunt.
