Sounds like heavy doses of personal responsibility and inculcated personal motivation were applied.

Not to mention liberal doses of governmental support....which pretty much all other govermnents (EXCEPT the US) supply to their athletes. The US athletes have to get sponsorships and raise their own money to train & travel. Oops...better not say anything else before some ding-dong in DC gets ideas.
