About TEDx, x = independently organized event. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
Perfect. This needs to become "a matter of fact" in our lives.
I am just fascinated for this subject. I am from Brazil and really like the example used... Culture, challenging conditions to practice, the mind set are factors that help Brazilian kids became great soccer players... but yes, FUTSAL is something that 99% of all Brazilians played in some point of their lives.
I would like to thank you Mr.Dan Coyle,for the presentation.I agree to achieve Talent it takes practice,time and dedication(WANT).
Dan, thank you for sharing this video with me, wonderful. You need to take your golf ball show on the road! Seriously, every parent should read and understand "The Talent Code."
Thank you for sharing some key premises about how "talent" comes about
I just watched this for a school assignment, but its really good and he makes a lot of good points!
amazing, thank you, thank you, thank you
Thank you for this awesome talk!
I'm glad you presented a TED Talk!
Damn, this was a great talk by Matthew Perry
JHi pip
Thank you.
13:45 This was fascinating!
There have not been 39 world championships for futsal, but the sport has created many talented soccer players.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! What an inspirational book and I love your presentation. We should warn Tiger Woods about his new competition!! lol Again, thank you!!!
I gave it a thumbs up but in that experiment I got all of Column A and didn't even look at B.
10:10 : On Mistakes
Funny that learning from tiger woods was almost on the other end of being a good husband back then. 😂
The camera man definitely did NOT read The Talent Code. This video brought to you by Dramamine.
Oh yes. My softball career( and golf, and bowling, and tennis, and walking and talking at the same time) would have been so much more profitable had this research come out earlier in life.
Poor Tiger Woods. He get frustrated because HE is not as good a he used to be. Oddly NO ONE has figured out the problem... clearly he has a year old fixed back to retrain. It will take years but he can do it.
For some reason, Tiger Woods hasn't stumbled into Alexander Technique yet as a solution.
Can't say, that i agree with that guy. He has good points, of course, but talent it is something, that really hard to "determine" . Simple example: 2 guys, ask them to do something that they never done it before, ask them to repeat it 10 times. After 10 times one guy will do it better than other one. Regardless how hard tries second, he won't be able to do it as effectively, or goog as first one. Why? Hard to say. Or, lets take a soccer as an example.
Ronaldo ( Brazilian ). Everybody knows, that he was not a guy, who practices hard. But at the same time, there were players, who had trained way more than Ronaldo. They couldn't play as good as Ronaldo, and never would be able to do that. Why? it is hard to say, really. Because so many variables you have to consider, so many circumstances - you never would be able to determine WHY. Body type, his weight, height, how fast signal goes from his brain through his body to his muscles, does he recognizes situation when he needs to do certain move, how quick his brain recognizes it, how quick then brain reacts on that situation, does his brain finds proper decision for that certain situation, and if yes - is his body capable of doing that quick or strong... Too many things to "calculate"
Feel English I know what he is talking about. Read my comment please
Most of the factors you mention are skills that are formed through intense learning. Quite often this learning is done early in life and in a way that make people, even the object itself, to forget that it happened. Kids are playing and once it was believed that they just were whiling away their time while they waited to become adults and learn things for real. Today we know that playing is learning - true for lion cubs and puppies, true for human children. I think Ronaldo likes to have the image of someone who does not practice hard, but how true is it? How true has it been throughout his whole life? How does he even define "practice" - it is enough that he does not see his childhood futsal playing as practice.
If you read the book, you will see that Coyle does not claim that genes and other physical factors don't play a role, on the contrary. But it has been common belief for so many years that other factors are rather insignificant - ok, add "the right, encouraging environment", like Mozart who got proper education by his father, and so the cliché picture is complete. Truth is, that not everybody can be number one. It is sad, however, that so many can only count to one. What is interesting about Coyles research, or rather summary of research he has witnessed, is that it encourages people to develop more, not just say "ok, so I have no talent - I've better give up" and then leave their dreams. We are many, many, many who are not very interested in becoming No.1, we may just wish to reach our own potential instead of give up or struggle forever with ineffective practice.
@Araz Hajiyev, you are missing the point...
It's not just practice, the type of practice that makes the difference in your skill level. You could spend less hours of practice but your practice must challenge you. If you and me practice same stuff say , " baseball" which I have never played in life. However if both of us learn the basics but have the same amount of practice time, I would do better if I was challenged with fast paced ball and practice my swinging intensively because I had somehow trouble hitting the ball and missing it. Now if we were do the test I would beat you just because challenged in the practice in a difficult way than you did. Even though the number of hours that we got to practice the same. Some soccer players are better than others because their practice challenged them extraordinarily and they focus on mastering that mistakes or their deficiencies and then move onto mastering the next skill.
