I know a juggler who was frustrated as he didn't have "natural" skills at juggling despite being born into a circus family.
He was good at drawing, so one day he took drawing classes. He realized that the class just repeated everything he learned on his own.
It clicked that he was a "natural" at art and not at juggling. What natural skill meant was simply coming to the right techniques early on compared to other people who might need years to discover the same thing.
He eventually became a really good juggler, by interviewing other "naturals" and reverse engineering how they got there (they just practiced better). Most naturals don't even realize what they're doing right or what others are doing wrong. When naturals do classes, they're sometimes not even that helpful.
