training, not just education

"(trader's development).....is typically a lengthy one

and involves numerous setbacks

as well as milestones.

what sustains the growth process

is a very strong interest in the performance field

and a learning process that nurtures continued motivation

and a sense of growing mastery.

talent and interest will not turn into expertise

if they are not channeled into ongoing learning,

review of performance,

and efforts at improvement.

this is why traders require training

(like a physician or Olympic athlete)

not just education."
