Worth noting small caps depend heavily on the liquidity regime. Russell 2000 has trailed the S&P 500 by roughly 90 percent since 2014, in part because tight financial conditions punish duration sensitive cash flows. Selection alpha is real, but the macro window for the asset class matters too.

Respectfully, the data shows the opposite for most retail investors. Median small cap underperforms the Russell 1000 over rolling 10 year windows, and survivorship bias on those 10x winners is brutal. The ‘only you can’ framing skips over how few actually pick them.
