Nathan, you probably won't see this but if you do try reading the book "Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World" by David Epstein. It's mainly researched based and contradicts your brief thoughts on schooling. Simply put, it may give you a different perspective on education.
@jamesroscoe7555

Thanks for posting this. It is a fascinating topic. I will check out that book. I would argue that many careers are simply not understandable at a young age, and so kids need to develop in a broad sense educationally to get to a point where they can ever find those careers. There is a book called "The Goldmine Effect" by Rasmus Ankersen and I have seen how kids can develop incredibly in a specialized academy environment (in this case soccer). But if they do that to such an extent that they don't play other sports, they often lack physical development skills that would have contributed to their specialty. So good programs encourage multisport ABCs. There is also the aspect of early vs late developers, and that can be in various ways, but the big one in sport is physical (even just timing of growth spurt). Often there is a bias towards early developers, when sometimes late developers, when trained equally and not filtered out of the system due to size, are superior long term. I think there is a balance between supporting kids in what they enjoy, but also encouraging them to become broadly educated. That way, if and when their interests change, they can adapt and still draw from what they learned in other areas.

@@vanmelum I think finding the right balance between depth and range is key. If I had exclusively developed based on my 10 year old interests, I would have become a professional football player. I didn't even discover surfing until my 20's and it is much more engaging for me now than football. And I sure didn't have any interest in quantum mechanics when I was 10, haha. If I were to ask most of my peers in science and engineering if they thought they'd be working on what they are working on now when they were 18, in most cases the answer would be "no, didn't even know it existed". For academic pursuits, a lot of development happens at the university level. Not for everyone, but it would be a shame to close the door early imho. I'm glad I didn't become an NFL player.

The mention by John of competing with Kelly for so many years brought me back to the fact they were a big reason why my wife and I moved from Seattle to Hawaii. I was a Florida surfer (2nd Light & The Streets in Cocoa Beach) and of course, I was a Kelly fan. So when my wife got us a free trip from Seattle to Hawaii in 2011, I said ok, but it had to be during Pipe (which we drove to every day from Honolulu and saw every heat from start to finish)...and so we got to see Kelly and John in their Quarterfinal Heat 2 matchup. I told my wife (a Seattle girl who had never before seen surfing) that these two were The Best and The Future Best and that this was an epic matchup. It was a great heat, Kelly winning on, I think, his last wave. And so between the crowd roaring on every wave, and the high quality of surfing in big Pipe waves, she said, "now I know why surfing means so much to you." Between that amazing week of surfing and then the next week which we spent fishing for o'io on Moloka'i, we decided to move to Moloka'i, which we did in 2015...so thank you John...and thanks to Nate and Koa and team for these truly enjoyable podcasts...Dal J

This was hands down the best ever interview I've ever heard with John. And every second of it was interesting from all of them. Like hearing John's perspective on no longer starting at pipe. (Although he didn't go as far as I would have and said what a joke that one day win a title thing is). And I've always wondered how he really felt after that title. It seems like it's similar for many people. Like he and Tyler went back to back, then she was I'll and John was injured for so long. And Medina seems to be struggling with it. Kelly, I think just thrives on winning even more than surfing. Like the way he basically got back in the game to beat Andy. Or for awhile seemed to make John that focus. It made me a little sad when they talked about how they all hung out all the time -- I know those must have been some of the best times for them. And the bike story was hilarious. I hope John stays healthy this year. Having him on tour is the only reason I watch it. Once he's out, I don't watch the rest of the comp. He was so switched on at pipe. The judges screwed him on that one. Oh and when they were talking about great heats John has been in, I wish someone had brought up the last heat Taj Burrow ever surfed professionally -- with John at cloudbreak. I think that was my favorite heat ever because the great waves were nonstop and both of them were so switched on it was insane. I go back and watch that often. I can tell that John is in it for the surfing this year, like he said, just trying to let go and really surf at your peak freely. I'd love to see that strategy win instead of some of the guys who are much more into winning than surfing, including playing stupid games with hassling and blocking. Great job koa and Nate on an A+ interview
