How we might look at talent in the future...

Daniel Coyle is the author of the new book The Talent Code. He provides insight into how top performing athletes differ in their brains to gain a competitive edge. He uses the latest findings in psychology to make his argument of just how people become excellent athletes outside of old ideas on natural talent and physical training. Online he has a blog that highlights his ideas and new findings which is a great read for anyone looking to learn more about fostering more talent in themselves and those around them. His book and blog is an excellent read for coaches and anyone in the athletic field who has an interest in getting the most out of their athletic performance. I've included the link below to an interesting article he has posted on how talent could be determined more by mindset than immediate physical skills in the future.

Being able to make sure that your physical training is balanced by a strong mental training seems to be the way of the future when it comes to the next generation of athletes. Stay tuned for more information about how to stay balanced while pursuing your goals.

Simon Sinek: How great leaders inspire action

I've taken a little time away from updating the blog to learn and figure out my priorities. Essentially, to figure out why I'm doing what I'm doing. This question seems to be very prevalent in my life wherein I strive to understand why first and then let everything fall into place after. I've recently been getting in touch with finding my emotional center through yoga, introspection, and a wonderful young lady that has been much of the inspiration of my journey. Being able to find what moves me and how I deeply feel about things instead of a previous mode of breaking things down rationally has allowed me to get in touch with some of the things that matter most to myself. With these feelings in mind I have been starting to reinvent my approach to business and the way in which I operate because previously my methods were not as productive as the effort that I felt like I was putting in. In my search for finding my new approach I've been doing a lot of reading and watching of videos. Sadly, I've been forgetting that I now have a blog and that I can share this information with others. Realizing today that these things that have inspired me should be shared is my motivation for this post. I'll continue to update as I find more and more things that inspire me.
