Football Coach: Like any other challenging sport, football

Football Coach: Like any other challenging sport, football requires intense study and practice in order for one to become proficient. But many football programs encourage only children who demonstrate early talent to continue practicing football, while children who are not especially talented in football are directed towards other activities. Having learned to think of themselves as inept in football, these children do not devote sufficient time to play football and thus deprive themselves of the opportunity to develop a latent talent.

The football coach’s statements, if true, would best support which of the following conclusions?

A) Football programs should not devote special attention to talented students.
B) Children are particularly sensitive to criticism from adults.
C) Everyone has the potential to learn football.
D) Talent is not always apparent at an early age.
E) All children should be coached in football.
