Acquiring new Skills

Research below shows to acquire new skills we need to:

1.      Know precisely how to perform the skill
2.      Practice the skill with absolute precision
3.      Practice in tempo & rhythm
4.      Practice with varying degrees of bio feedback
5.      Precision practice of the skill  
6.      Vary the skill levels
7.      Have some method of reporting, skill, accuracy, time & effort
8.      Have an online system to keep all coaches on the “same page”

SwingLAB’s  3D Decision-Trainer does all of the above and more

 
Research
Myelin is a revolutionary scientific discovery involving a neural insulator, which some neurologists now consider to be the holy grail of acquiring skill.

 Here's why.

Every human skill, whether playing golf or playing Bach, is created by chains of nerve fibres carrying a tiny electrical impulse - basically, a signal travelling through a circuit.

Myelin's vital role is to wrap those nerve fibres the same way that rubber insulation wraps a copper wire, making the signal stronger and faster by preventing the electrical impulses from leaking out. When we fire our circuits in the right way - when we practice swinging a club - our Myelin responds by wrapping layers of insulation around that neural circuit, each new layer adding a bit more skill and speed.

The thicker the Myelin gets, the better it insulates, and the faster and more accurate our movements and thoughts becomes.
