            I think certain people do have advantages when it comes to something competitive. I think that because, some people practice more than others or they have a God given gift that helps them to be more of an advantage. Also, some people have played a specific activity longer than others. Comparing to the Outliers Gladwell’s opinion was that certain people have advantages. For example, in the book he said that if you were older in a class you would more likely know more than other students who are younger. Or if you play a sport longer you are going to be better at sport than someone who has played that sport for a shorter time. I do agree with him because, I think if you are more experienced or if you are talented in an activity or if you are older and stronger you are going to be better at an activity. For example, in soccer there is recreational teams and there are competitive teams. A competitive team is more experienced and better. While a recreational team are players just starting out and are not at that competitive level.
