    Your definition is incorrect. Ability is simply being able to do a thing whether innate or learned. The official definition is: possession of the means or skill to do something.

    The aim of this video was to try and draw out differences in the two terms, particularly within a sporting context, where being 'able' and/or 'skilled' are quite nuanced. So to define 'ability' as you have, using the term 'skill', doesn't really help the situation. In broader terms, yes, I'd agree with you, but if we were to be more specific for PE exam answer purposes, I'll be sticking with my own explanations from the video 👍 Consider a fast runner. They have a natural ability to generate high force in short time periods with their muscles, but may not have the learned skills of sprint cadence, foot placement etc.... Whereas you have a second runner, with less natural ability to produce high force in short periods, but have practiced and rehearsed effective biomechanics that enable them to run faster than the more naturally able performer. Just one man's opinion anyway 🤷‍♂

    I totally agree with you. However, look at all of human history. Did man have the ability to get to the moon or to communicate using radio frequencies in ancient times? The answer is yes, but had not yet acquired the skill to do such a thing. The "label" ability is a lagging indicator of what is possible. Can a slow runner get faster? Can an average baseball slugger become exceptional? (i.e. Sammy Sosa, etc.) sure! In my humble opinion skill is merely a measureable of ability, because it's impossible to determine if one has innate ability. What does that even mean? Maybe a person's ability is latent. Or their innate ability doesn't match the task at hand. Michael Jordan did not start out as a savant basketball player, but he became great. What if he were born in the 1600's how great would he have become? We can reverse engineer results and then make assumptions about innate ability. However, these are limiting beliefs because of the multitude of factors that go into achievement. I'm sure you've read the book Outliers. That's why ability is simply capable of doing. Thanks for engaging and I understand when teaching anything abstract possibility within itself makes tutoring nearly impossible. @@ThePETutor
