The Thing before the Thing ... And Other Things

This was on NPR this evening. if you can't afford the 45 minutes, just listen to the first past about baseball hitters.

I've talked before about how important it is to understand the moments before something happens so you can anticipate what's going to happen next, in other words be ahead in the loop ..... This is why random flow training, or training in uncertainty, is better than technique based training where you only get to practice the thing that's actually happening,  but never get to see 'the moment before' that made the thing possible.

Other good stuff too about training and aptitude.
