"Whenever a spontaneous process is too slow or too inefficient a protein will evolve to speed it up or make it more efficient."
Faster (speed/strength)-Deliberate Practice
Easier--Play
Play is our future
Skill is measurable w/ two resources 1) time, 2) energy
Players whose actions make better use of these resources can be defined as optimal. This is not subjective
Time (faster)/overload/conscious/stress
Energy(easier)/underload/unconscious/low anxiety

It's more likely to be wrapped around a tree than finish the race.
Kids in play build the driving sills first, in Go Karts, like Ayrton Senna
Big brains, slow cars, easier
But where speed is limited by physics,
Ideas are plentiful and under resourced in US youth sport
Competition is important
Training is more important than games
Play is more important than both
But,
the big thing is to keep the big thing the big thing
But we don't walk the walk?
- one simple coaching methodology--Don't coach kids, play with them and try to win, show them how much you love play, do your best...Kids will follow the models and love play too
Play uses something we fear, negative feedback
kids in play discover what DOES NOT work
teaching "check your shoulder" is positive feedback and will not create robust players that see the field.
But play will
Did the plane fly? if so great, but no one knows why
or did the plane crash? w/in micro seconds the NTSB is on site reviewing the block box--that info is freely shared from the player to game mates & those watching
we learn
The faster the crashes (falsification) the faster, and more efficient the planes (and cars, and boats and players)

I'm increasingly interested in the idea of "personal moats" in the context of careers.

Moats should be:
- Hard to learn and hard to do (but perhaps easier for you)
- Skills that are rare and valuable
- Legible
- Compounding over time
- Unique to your own talents & interests https://t.co/bB3k1YcH5b
