  We all have different abilities. Some people are better at certain tasks and struggle with others. The distinction between being good at sports vs being good with physical things is not well supported, though. Actually, if you are good at one thing, you are more likely to be good at other things. This also includes physical abilities.
  However, there can be training effects. If you spent more time practicing one skill, you will become better at that skill and might neglect other aspects – unfortunately, all of our time is limited and we need to choose some things over others.
