Great TED presentation by David Epstein. Enjoy.
Synopsis:
When you look at sporting achievements over the last decades, it seems like humans have gotten faster, better and stronger in nearly every way. Yet as David Epstein points out in this delightfully counter-intuitive talk, we might want to lay off the self-congratulation. Many factors are at play in shattering athletic records, and the development of our natural talents is just one of them.
The part when he talked about muscle activation during electrocution made me want to train even harder, then he mentioned the brain preventing us from hurting ourselves and i went back to normal training mode. This all happened in about 5 seconds.
Awesome presentation
That was awesome. Thanks for sharing coach
Im sure many people will already have seen this, but I just find it amusing:
Here's the follow up interview from Ted, with David and a few others.
