Admittedly I'm guessing - and so are you of course - but right off the bat I would have to disagree with this, unless you confine your definition of an athlete to some sports like football, basketball and maybe some track events. I bet the ncaa keeps these statistics somewhere though.
But I do agree that the sport a particular athlete winds up focussing on is not just due to his ability, but due to his opportunity and even pressure from parents & peers.
Explains why you see more hockey players than water polo players coming out of the northeast and Canada than in Arizona & Southern California.
