You probably have a point. But you do wonder if the players who fall away really are being as diligent in training as they think they are?
I also wonder if falling away actually means getting worse or just failing to keep improving at the same rate as their peers. Of course, once this happens it probably messes with their heads, they get even more de-motivated and it all becomes a bit of a vicious circle.
