12:52 - "My fun became watching video of my swing" - Spot on excellent! How can we know what needs improving if 1. We don't have a model? 2. Not recording our technique during practice? 3. Not taking notes on what to eliminate, add or improve? I want the shortest path to refinement, no time for BS. I really enjoyed this video. I'm going to add some slow motion practice daily, run the camera at home as well as at the range. I believe the shortest path to excellence must include a frequent (daily) and honest review of what we are doing. Thanks Todd!

great interview coach. I am an online tennis instructor and I could not agree more...and I love the talent code

Great interview! I recently heard about this book via David Toman of Nootropics Expert (on youtube). I haven't read the book yet, but I feel like I've already lived it. I'm 66, a multi instrumentalist including classical violin, jazz guitar, drums, and most recently classical piano which I started 5 years ago. I've used the mirror as a tool for decades. Your own eyes will tell you when something looks wrong. After playing jazz guitar for 30 years (loving the styles of Pat Metheny, Pat Martino, George Benson, Alan Holdsworth etc) I realized I wanted to change my entire playing technique, both hands, to the Frank Gambale technique. It took years of slow methodical practice to create a new vocabulary. It's a style and sound that I love, and which few players are willing to put in the time and practice to achieve. I'm waiting for Dan's book to arrive, and can't wait to read it. Oh, one last mention: I've always recorded my violin practice sessions...just turn on the recorder and let it run for the entire 3 hours, then over the next few days, playback the recording while I'm working. Things you didn't hear while practicing will just right out at you! During intense practice, your mind will have a tendency to "forgive" certain faults....which actually need to be corrected. Practice is a mind game.

Thanks for uploading this. 👍

Great job Todd and Dan. Just bought the book

And. When someone learns a specific lift - say a shoulder press - they will add 10% strength in one month. Thereafter the gain is right at 2% growth in n strength per month. The person has not really gotten 10% stronger. Rather the nervous system has learned the pattern. It is logical to assume that the initial one rep max check was incorrect because the person did not know how to do the lift. The afferent and efferent systems have learned how to work together. When I learned golf as an adult I took lessons for six months before playing and parring my first hole. I was taught to pick up the entire range with one club to be be target for example. Talent code stuff. Excellent book by the way. I just thought I didn’t want to learn by myself and pick up bad habits. All the best.

Try means a deliberate attempt to accomplish

At 61 I enrolled in an MS program in Sport Performance and Conditioning. It was not my field. I took every graduate class in the program in addition to the required course work. Then for my thesis I worked on reviewing and recording data for middle distance runners. To hurry through the program several of the younger students merely compared one or 2 exercises - say the hack squat vs leg e tension for a 3 week period with 20 or so student volunteers. This got the degree requirement done but were they really “all in”? They in term merely felt that I was involved in self enriched learning and not a “real student.” It seemed to me they were not really all in and merely checking boxes. I have helped many people start proper Periodization training programs for strength and sport specific power. As stated in this video there are those who are not truly all in. They fade away rather quickly. The human body with a one rep max check will improve strength by 10% in one month. This is the brain creating pathways as you’ve discussed. After that it is 2% improvement per month. This is where the grind sets in. It is a workout and not a playout. The committed individuals quickly distance themselves from the short term and the quitters. I strength train to then do Periodization training for sport. This in my case is for golf and tennis. The quick fix lesson with a “swing thought of the day” approach does not apply in my world either. It is easy to see why Mr Hogan did not tolerate the group who wanted to come to him for his knowledge through diligent trial and error. I sense that Moe was probably a bit that way as well - easily irritated by those not willing to do the work. To your credit probably the reason he took to you. All the best.

Great video! Fun practice is key. Is single plane golf easier with single length golf clubs or do you think regular variable lengths are fine?

"Try" is an illegal word in my world

How can I contact with Daniel Coyle to know more about deliberate practice?
