What is the talent's secret? How can we open it? Journalist and New York Times bestselling author Daniel Coyle offers parents, educators, coaches, executives, and everyone else practical skills in this ground-breaking book to help them realize their own and others' full potential.
This ground-breaking book teaches you how to develop skill by using a recently identified brain process, whether you're attempting to improve your golf swing, writing a novel, or coaching soccer.
Utilizing state-of-the-art neurology and firsthand data acquired from visits to nine of the world's most gifted locations—from upstate New York's classical music academy to the baseball fields of the Caribbean—Coyle pinpoints the three essential components that will enable you to maximize your potential and reach your full potential in any given endeavor, including sports, art, music, math, and pretty much anything else.
• Deep Practice: It's common knowledge that success comes from practice. Unknown to most people is the fact that certain types of practice may accelerate skill development by up to 10 times compared to traditional methods.
• Ignition: To begin going, we all need a little inspiration. What, however, sets real high achievers apart from the rest of the field? a stronger degree of dedication—dubbed passion—that is sparked by certain primitive stimuli and arises from our innermost underlying needs. Gaining an understanding of these signals might help you spark enthusiasm and accelerate the development of new skills.
• Master Coaching: What are the trade secrets of the most successful instructors, trainers, and coaches in the world? Learn the four qualities that these "talent whisperers" use to ignite their students' enthusiasm, encourage in-depth practice, and bring out the best in them.
Together, these three components create myelin, a small neuronal material that greatly increases the speed and precision of your thoughts and motions. Researchers have uncovered evidence that myelin may be the key to all brilliance, ranging from Michelangelo to Michael Jordan. The good news about myelin is that it is not fixed at birth; rather, it develops and may be nurtured and grown just like any other growing substance.
In addition to altering your perspective on talent, this book will provide you the tools you need to realize your own greatest potential. It does this by fusing insightful analysis with inspiring tales of common individuals who have accomplished remarkable things.
