Assuming that it’s the case that “successful sports people are more likely to visit fee-paying schools than state schools” (and I don’t see any data supporting this), then why is that the case?
It’s not like, dunno, football, fishing or swimming are the preserve of the ultra wealthy. Horsey stuff, maybe rowing, some racquet sports, then yes.
But in general terms the barrier wouldn’t seem to be “successful sports people are too posh to visit state schools”.
