Years ago, for a period of about 3 months, 2 friends and I would get together after work and play an XBOX fighting game for 4-5 hours (We had literally nothing else to do. No money, no cable, just this one game). Winner plays again and loser waits his turn.
Everyone's style and character picks would constantly evolve during this process. But generally, one friend would lose far more than he would win, and we would tease him mercilessly, as you do.
One day, out of nowhere, he was unbeatable. Winning game after game, to all of our amazement.
My other friend, who I don't think graduated high school and almost certainly never read anything about sleep science or brain development, made the following comment, which struck me as profound at the time:
"JP was dreaming this shit last light. No doubt, dreaming it all night"
Another example of sub/unconscious learning happens in sports. Another pastime of mine is playing pickup basketball.
One of the best ways to get into a hot shooters head is to simply say "You're shooting really well today. What are you doing differently?" the same applies to things like a golf swing.
