Episode notes
Predisposition Vs. Specific Talent
- People may have a general predisposition (e.g., music or dance) but not highly specific innate talents.
- Specific excellence typically requires focus, training, and opportunity rather than pure birthright.
Begin Early But Avoid Overtraining
- Start early to allow more time for lessons, practice, and development.
- Avoid excessive training that harms a child's wellbeing or ruins their life.
Practice Effectively With Feedback
- Use effective, focused practice that pushes you in the right direction with repetition and feedback.
- Seek teachers, coaches, or disciplined self-practice to provide structure and improvement.
