DC Chapter 1
Summary
There are unifying elements to prodigies found in talent hotbeds. Two examples given are the soccer players in brazil (their training methods) and the link trainer. Both of these training simulate a situation that allows them to perform at the edge of players abilities and expand upon them.
Key Concepts: Training should allow you to succeed, and yet stretch you enough to allow you to make mistakes, so in the real performance you have improved upon those mistakes.
Key Terms:
Sweet spot
Zone
Deep practice
Mistakes
Challenge
Making connections: Students need to understand that making mistakes is a means of improvement. Improvement is success.The success isn't in overcoming the obstacle, it is simply trying again.
DC Chapter 7
Summary
There are ways to build your own talent hotbed. Examples include teachers who developed their own system of deep practice by trying to build their own school. Starting out they didn't produce any successful results but as years went by they were able to refine teaching methods and codes of conduct to develope a school that taught children how to succeed.
Key Concepts: Creating a talent hotbed is a skill that can be mylenated. In essense, a system is a collection of minds that are mylenating all the time. Continueing to build upon good codes will enable a system to succeed.
Key words: Signals, cues, purposely planted cues, everything is earned.
Making Connections: Every endeavor requires time and energy for success but it also requires vigilance to spot out what parts are and aren't working. In my own life I have developed systems that didn't work out so well, and so I abandoned them for new ones. The ones that worked I have kept and have allowed me to step to higher success. I'm still growing and weeding out the bad aspects of my own system. Why should a school be any different? (or a business, or a book club, etc.)
