Just heard Daniel Speak at a golf coaching conference in England. Very interesting and definitive. Just ordered the book can’t wait. Am sure it will be a great read and help my coaching!
Thanks for the taster, I’ ll remember your comment about the glazed look in their eyes-what people/children are looking at and also the incremental struggle that allows for retention and ultimately breakthrough. Deep practice!
I think Coyle’s ideas are inflated in order to write the book. I find it interesting that now that we have done away with superstition and religion, Coyle comes along and endows evolution with new magical powers. The book is filled with them. My wife, an occupational therapist who works with a wide variety of ages in brain and body rehabilitation, just laughed when I read sections of Coyle’s book. She thought it was hokey stuff with the overemphasis on myelin. It is almost as bad as the superstitions we are trying to get rid of! Many of his ideas are superficial.
On the positive side, we do see talent hotbeds and he does point these out and sometimes gives a reasonable explanation for them.
Saw an interview and found the subject interestin
bought the book – waiting to get it so I thought I would check this out.
