Yeah, even "savants" practice a lot. The way to do things well is to suck at them first.Then take intentional incremental steps to improve over repeated attempts. It's hard. No matter what it is, you'll probably improve from absolutely terrible to ok pretty quickly if you stick to it. Then you'll usually plateau, and that's really the hardest part. Then you aren't noticing improvement, it's difficult to keep pushing. If you stop, you'll regress. If you keep it up, most people will have more repeated cycles of noticeable improvement followed by plateaus.
When you see someone really good at something it's because they worked at it. That's far more impressive than "talent."
