Talent Code

Myelin, talent is an achievable skill rather than something that is natural or inherited, which is common belief. It seems talent is natural because the process of gaining a talent is very natural, tapping into an individuals interest (ignition) and making it challenging to foster improvement and further cement the talent into its brain. Myelin is the nerve covering that maintains skill acquisition. 

Deep practice, really getting into a fluid state where learning is accelerated. Big emphasis on coaching and teachers and how these can heavily influence the development of a skill/talent.

Interesting anecdotes:
- Futsal used to accelerate learning for soccer (Brasil)

- KIPP learning students being taught stricter and harsher

- John Wooden, less words for more meaning has more impact for learning
