Review: Coyle, Daniel (2009). The Talent Code. New York: Random House (Excerpt from Chapter 1 – The Sweet Spot) “Greatness is not born. He grew up” (Coyle, 2009). Here begins Daniel Coyle's best-selling book "The Talent Code", which includes the article in review: "The Sweet Spot". His article argues that the “Talent Code” is made up of three different types of elements, the first of which is based on deep practice, which involves not just having a talent or practicing a skill , but also to accept that it is good to make mistakes because it takes us to another level, developing both our abilities and our connection with the environment, society and ourselves, forming a cycle that guides us almost to perfection. Using examples such as visits to hotbeds of talent, people and countries, quotes from books and academic research, he presents his theme. Additionally, it brings out the opinions of educators, writers, and researchers on the deep practice method, telling the story of Edwin Link and the U.S. Air Force, Coach Clifford and the games of Brazilian futsal/football. With this in mind, the author lays out his thesis: no matter how many hours or money you spend, it won't do any good if you don't delve deeper into the subject. To prove his point, Coyle uses key words such as: extensive practice; SKILLS; talent and paradox, thereby showing that talent means nothing without the experience of its development. In other words, "it's about finding the right balance" (Coyle, 2009.p.19), you must capture the essence of the task, what makes this thing so important that you and others people might give up your time to learn. the exercise mentioned previously. As you search for the “sweet spot,” you are faced with questions like: How far would you go to grow this business? Are you really ready to do this? Are you a quitter? ; If two people use the same method, in this case extensive practice, why is only one person successful? What about distinctions between human beings? These doubts challenge our mental and physical abilities, revealing our abilities, desires, fears and needs. However, when the writer expresses his opinion, he asks questions about personality, destiny and natural abilities, because it cannot be denied that some people have predispositions to do some activities and that sometimes it is enough to be in the right place, at the right time to make your dreams come true.
