I have a theory that how good someone is at something (soccer, the piano, programming) is directly tied to what they can put into their subconscious brain. The more that you can do subconsciously the better you are.

I realized this after thinking about skills like dribbling in basketball where first you get plain dribbling into your subconscious, then more complex dribbling, then entire moves.

Athletes always talk about when “the game started slowing down” and I always wondered if this was pushing a lot of faculties into their subconscious so they could operate at that speed.
