Actually no, that was not my conclusion after reading the book.
My conclusion was that it is necessary to train the correct movements in the right manner. It is necessary to be able to detect and correct while training the correct movements - what the book calls "deep training". Training without detection/correction is hit and miss, but probably it is miss.
The other conclusion was, if you are going to ski like Hirscher, you better start using the correct movements early in life. Early life is when you have plenty of myelin in the body and have not yet wrapped any other circuits that may interfere with performing the correct movements.
There are still sports out there that insist such detect and correct training with focus on "unnatural" movements will not work. They believe that only repetition will work, and that repetition will naturally lead to *your* correct and efficient movements. You will become as good as you can be.....
I think that is rubbish. One must be aware of how they move, and how they intend to move. People don't want to be limited to being as good as their *current* movements allow. They want to be as good as those that perform the *BEST* movements.
