Too true. But one thing that really struck me in this column (even just the first 6 sentences) is the sense of consciously deciding to allow the entirety of one's performance to take a long-term dip, not because one is working on a specific detail for a moment, but because the entire behavior is being re-designed.
The column referenced visits to seminars, which is akin to what you mentioned about a teacher emphasizing something that doesn't come easy. But it sounds like Tiger Woods basically said goodbye for a while, so that he could come back later, even better than before.
