Similarly, many people who are good at a sport in high school think "Hey, I can make it in the Pro leagues". The numbers don't bear this out.
One US-centric example - the NBA drafts about 60 people a year. You'd need to be not just the best person in your school or city, but the best person in the entire state to have a chance to make it, and then remain one of the best and avoid injuries, through 4 years of college.
It's really a numbers game, and people need to be realistic about the overall chances they may have.
