Skateboarding provides the quickest most vivid feedback possible. Just like you wrote in “The Little Book of Talent.” I know also because I am a 22 year old skateboarder and I fall all the time to progress and learn tricks.

I’m also an engineer student and recently took a course in electromagnetism, it’s electricity in our brain! Insulation = quicker, stronger signals (more Myelin).

I want to thank you for your work, the golf trick is absolute proof, 3 minutes a day! Are you kidding me? The Talent Code is amazing. I want to grow as much Myelin as possible and according to your website, I’m in my prime to grow it at 22!

It is because of you and this book that I am inspired to strive for my absolute best for the rest of my life in everything I do. Whether it be at school in physics class with Accelerated Learning Techniques to get a new concept, or at the park trying to fire the correct signal to learn a new trick, The Talent Code is the answer to greatness and success.

I am determined to prove your points and tips through my learning process to become as good as I can be at everything I do; Skating, Surfing, Kitesurfing, Roller Hockey w/my Dad, Spearfishing, breath holds… ANYTHING. I will show video proof of the process, and can’t wait.

This also goes for my friends and people around me, I’ve been spreading this stuff like wildfire (giving you credit of course) and people love it!! people overhear me and my friends talking at school about anything being possible and electric signals in our brain, and THEY are inspired seeing us as the next generation.

If you need a connection to the young generation coming out of Santa Cruz CA, please contact me. I continue to chant about this everyday and I am determined to meet you one day to personally shake your hand and say thank you again.

Anything is possible. What fires, wires. Send the signal!

Here’s me skating today: http://vimeo.com/64429040 (I’m the redhead)

I’m dedicating the next entire part of my life to progressing and I will keep you updated, sorry but I’m determined to meet you, to learn more about our brains, neuroscience, neuromuscular training for athletes, physics, nutrition, positive mind set….everything there is to know about getting to the next level in ANYTHING.

Thank you for the inspiration.
I’d like to say I’m pretty fired up these days.

Does anyone know the name of the particular model of swimming pool that was most highly sought by these skateboarders? I am certain I saw a movie about this maybe 20 years ago and I cannot remember the name of the pool and it is slowly driving me insane. Any relief would be greatly appreciated!

Heya just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let
you know a few of the images aren’t loading properly. I’m not
sure why but I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different web browsers and both show the same outcome.

A talent hotbed that models this is on the tiny Dutch Caribbean island of Bonaire. The windsurf team is a perfect example of practice and practice and perfection. The team’s style is to sail together, make mistakes do it again and cheer each other on. It is a polite competition and a true team approach with deep practice 360 days a year. 5 have gone pro and more are to come.
