The Talent Code. Greatness isn’t born it’s grown, Here’s how. Daniel Coyle.  2009. ISBN 9780553906493.  Singularly the best book on performance and development  I have read yet.   The question came up, why do these clusters of high performance sprout up?  Korean LPGA golfers, Russian ladies tennis stars? Curacao’s run of World Little League finals,  Magnet schools that outperform?  Brazilian soccer?  Finnish school children?  The failures of Whole language instruction?    Its all in here folks and the secrets are based on neuroscience, growth and the impact of deep learning ( coupled with the 10 000 hour rule) . Read about the importance of struggle, fire and ignition of vision, and how top coaches are able to do this. What you can do at home, in business to develop a high performance culture.  Recognize the  hard work ( not brains) and encourage struggles, not participation is what I first took away , but there is more , much more.
