Absolutely! However, no matter how quickly we learn something, I think time at the table is needed for that skill to become seasoned, if that makes sense.
I agree. You can learn and develop the skills and be consistent performing what you've learned, but keeping that consistency under pressure of is where seasoning comes in, else we choke. And that is another topic that is misunderstood by some players, and by some instructors.
We've all heard or read that choking is the result of weak or poor fundamentals. But that's not true. When a player with weak fundamentals misses an easy shot, it may or may not be due to choking. More than likely it's due to a poor stroke or poor/inconsistent fundamentals, not to fact that they "choked".
Choking is the result of your conscious brain function interfering with what your subconscious brain function has already been programmed to do -- "left brain" thought mucking up "right brain" execution. Stress, anxiety, fear, anger, despair, etc... All of these are like huge monkey wrenches when it comes to the brain's automatic performance/execution mode. If we don't know how to deal with these culprits consciously within the left brain, they can easily fall into the right brain, bringing it to a grinding hault, and then everything that we know perfectly well how to do is jammed up. Instead of automatically doing it we feel almost like a beginner. We find ourselves TRYING to do it instead of just doing it. This is choke mode.
Sometimes an emotional monkey wrench or distraction can be so big that we can't do anything about it. But the more we learn to recognize, acknowledge, and deal with these things the better we get at keeping them from interfering with the skills that we've worked so hard to learn and develop. This, imo, is "seasoning".
