Elite skills in the sport. Then educated and no drug history. Of course being uncontracted and having naïve parents/guardians would help. I don't believe the people on the panel would give away serious trade secrets and its something impossible to isolate/generalise on given the myriad of trade offs once talent is established. Talent has to be the non negotiable, they know the story of the sows ear - no matter how ruthless the piggy is.

The patience to wait over 24 hours to get the answer to a tantalising question.
I do not have that quality. Come on mate, what is the answer ?

Now that I am old and know so much more, I know that I know so much about so little, and so little about so much.
