But that’s not surprising at all if you assume every player has a ‘ceiling’ performance they can attain, isn’t it?
Higher rated players tend to be closer to their potential than lower rated ones, leaving less room for improvement, in any sport. They also will be more likely to get worse over time because, the nearer to the top, the more roads lead you downwards.
You’d have to pick a very peculiar metric to measure performance to compensate for that.
