Chapter 10: Martinez could connect to people and know the truth of who they could be! You can't just hand someone the money and tell them to win you have to coach them. They need mentoring, consistency, they need somebody because you cannot do it alone!
Application: I loved this chapter and the football story because one I love football, but also it was very easy to understand. I want to apply this chapter by acknowledging that everyone needs someone to become something bigger than what they currently are. With wanting to be a great voice performer and someday a teacher,I myself need to rely on my teachers to mentor me and to make me better than I can be alone!
Epilogue: Ignition (master coaching) - Deep practice - Talent
"The high quality of Finnish education depends on the high quality of Finnish teachers." They regard their teachers just as highly as their doctors and lawyers. Coyle also discusses how continuous improvement also know as kaizen in Japanese, is about finding and improving the small problems.
Ask why over and over again because nowadays we have a tendency to smooth over things when we really need to work the questions and problems out in order to have deep meaningful practice! Praise those who put in effort.
Application: I really enjoyed the point brought up in this epilogue, I think talking about the Finnish school and the way they value their teachers and education was very fascinating and inspiring to me. I also loved the last point about not smoothing over questions or problems and instead working them out!! Taking the time and effort in the practice room to not just smooth over the issues but breaking them down and creating meaningful practice. That is how I want to apply this section, break down the issues don't skip over them.
