Hey Champ,
This is about what you think makes a great player great, years has nothing to do with it. This about you and what you think makes great players great only.

Technical ability (good aim, straight stroke, yada yada...)

Positive attitude

Everything else falls into place because the player knows how to stroke the ball.

Live a lifestyle that allows time to pursue the dream
 
Natural talent
Patience
