This is a tremendous book by Daniel Coyle. I found myself enthralled in the book and the ideas presented in it. It is a fascinating look into the inner workings of the type of learning processes that create the worlds elite talent. Coyle breaks the book into three areas or ways that help to throttle the learning process. First, deep practice. Optimizing your practice routines can vastly increase the rate at which you learn and can predictably reproduce skills. Second, motivation. The right kind of motivation also can also increase learning speed. Third, mater coaching. Coaches with the right combination of knowledge and the ability to reach their students can also vastly improve learning. I also enjoyed reading about the neuroscience research the author presents to support his claims.
Anyone who liked this book will also enjoy the book 'Outliers' by Malcolm Gladwell.
