I have never met someone who was better than me at anything that they didn't also clearly try harder at.
Apparently you don't drive. Where I live, everyone who wants to take a driving exam has to attend driving lessons, everyone attending the same number and the same kind of lessons. Yet some people pass the driving exam in the first try, and some fail ten times.
You've never heard of "paying attention"? Some people focus on the task at hand, ask questions, take notes, and study on their own time while others daydream through the lesson, don't ask questions if they don't understand something, and don't give it a second thought after the lesson is over.
The driving lessons mean actually driving. You can't not pay attention or daydream because you would collide with something. You can't take notes because you are driving. Anyone who would not pay attention would not even finish the lessons. People have the same lessons in the same school with the same instructor having to give them the same attention and yet the results are wildly different.

There is a huge chasm between "took the same number of lessons" and "worked just as hard at getting better".
Some people put in extra effort. Those who don't dismiss the extra effort as "talent".
No there isn't. There is nothing you can do while taking a lesson other than taking it. One person can't take the same lesson harder than another.
