All players are selected based on their natural ability for sports. Some of them continue to develop themselves in sports while trying to build up a professional career. Others fail to improve enough in their respective sports and are guided towards working on an academic career. With these choices none of the participants of the Natural Talents project is forced back into the level of poverty that made them eligible to participate in the first place. Even if sports is not providing enough income the solid academic schooling enables them to leave the slums on their way to a better life.
