I am reading this fascinating book "The Talent Code" by Dan Coyle. Coyle proposes (with lots of scientific and observational evidence) that talent is not something one is born with, but rather something that is grown in the brain thru certain identifiable practices. When one practices a skill, neurons fire along a nerve path. This causes a substance in the brain, myelin, to wrap around and coat the nerve path. This, in turn, provides insulation of that path so that the electrical signals become stronger and faster. Each practice builds another layer of myelin, until the practiced pathways become like broadband connections rather than dial-up. We've talked much about Adam's talent; how exceptional he is. And you all know that I get a little (a lot) testy when people say, "Oh, he was blessed with a God-given talent. He was born with it." Yes, he was born with a certain physiology, but he has learned how to use and maximize it through hours and hours of concerted practice over the years. This book supports that, and explains how the process works. I highly recommend it. Thanks for posting this! Shared it with my niece who is a dancer (since 3 yrs old), teacher & choreographer of dance too! She recently moved to the LA area to finish college & pursue dance opportunities! She's young, but all of the elements in that vid, are in her! Thanks again! Glad this resonated with you. I am now on the second part of the book which addresses motivation. The author points out that engaging in this type of deep practice necessary to become accomplished is difficult and requires a strong sense of passion and motivation. Where does that come from? He says this is the "ignition" stage. That something in the environment, in an experience almost unconsciously ignites a flame of passion. One common cue or "ignition" point he found was the primal need to belong to a group, to connect our identity to a group. Another common cue was the primal need for safety. These primal cues are usually unconscious. Talented individuals can rarely pinpoint exactly what ignited the spark or drive. Interestingly, I think Adam has identified it. He speaks of first getting into the theater group and feeling like, for the first time, he belonged. He was with like minded people. The audiences accepted him. He was safe when onstage --sometimes that was the only place that was safe. Protected when with his theater friends. This, I believe was his ignition point. The author proposes a second part of this ignition. It must result in the conviction that this is who they are and what they should be doing with their life. Studies have shown that music students who have long-term or lifetime goals in music progress much faster than those with only short term goals, even when they devote the same amount of time to practice. This reminds me of Adam, way back in high school saying if he could do this for the rest of his life he would be a happy man. So, Adam seems to be a good example of the talent code. Haven't gotten to the third section, but it is about master coaching. And we know he had great coaches as a child. Coaches who cared very much for him and believed in him. |
