 Increasing speed in older players/ teacher beliefs
Author: ginny

It's a pretty common assumption that older (past adolencense) people can't learn in general. Sadly this seems to be the view of my new teacher, who has given me several good tips. However he does seem to view me as basically unteachable due to my age. I don't intend becoming a pro, but I do intend to continue to improve. I assume I should look elsewhere for lessons, as the attitude on his part will decrease my ability to learn. Having gotten a math degree, with honors at 50 and believe I can learn to be better. There's hard evidence that adult brains do grow and that in fact adults can be trained to learn foriegn languages etc. but that specialized techniques are helpful such an a more incremental approach in one instance.

Mostly I'm annoyed at the attitude, but will listen to opinions.
