  21. Re-creating the street environment 10,000 hours required to develop expertise Structured coaching can stifle creativity “The street taught us. Messi grew up like this. Messi taught himself instead of a coach saying ‘run from cone to cone with the ball, do this, do that’.” Johan Cruyff The street – real-life, uncertain challenges Streetwise – shrewd; practical; experienced

  22. Group discussions Question 1: Is there a role for the coaching approach in university degree programmes? Question 2: Should we be concerned with all four corners of talent development? Question 3: Could small-group teaching be structured as a coaching session? Question 4: How could we do more to ensure that graduates are streetwise?
