Deliberate Practice and Performance
The intellectual foundation for why structured coaching works — drawn primarily from Geoff Colvin's *Talent is Overrated* and Anders Ericsson's *Peak*, with supporting evidence from Jason's own trajectory as a gymnast, founder, and coach. The core claim is both liberating and demanding: innate talent is largely a myth, and what separates elite performers from the rest is a very specific kind of practice that most people — even highly motivated ones — never actually do.
