What is the 24 coin challenge? For me, it is a way to demonstrate how quickly the human brain can process a series of thoughts and commands to execute a combination of complex coordinated actions. In this case, without training my brain to concentrate and focus on the task at hand, this skill would not have been possible. This should remind us of just how powerful the mind-body connection is if provided the proper training.
"What are the real subskills? Well, contrary to what many skill acquisition experts profess, the real subskills are the ones your brain focuses on the most. These are the building blocks and the infrastructure of all physical skills. These subskills are the reason you can coordinate your movements, keep yourself balanced, and instantly become agile when needed. Yet, even more importantly, these subskills are the systems that keep you aware of your surroundings and alert you as to where your body parts are at all times."
