My wife will start a half-marathon in about 15 minutes. She's been training for months. There was no fancy training program. Just the commitment to get up and run. She showed up and put in the time.
At the heart of it, that's all achievement really requires. You have to show up and put in the time. A writer has to write, a musician has to perform, a computer programmer needs to write code, a researcher needs to be in the lab. The consistent accretion of skills, knowledge, and experience that build from working on your craft, whatever that may be, day after day eventually becomes a spectacular ability.
The best don't become the best by accident. It's a decision. You have to make the choice to show up everyday. Day after day after day...
