Sky Brown is the 13 year old skateboarder that won bronze for Great Britain in the recent Olympics.
She doesn’t have a coach.
She learns her tricks from YouTube.
I predict Sky is part of the first wave of elite sports people, musicians, and artists that honed their skills from free, online content.
She’s a great example of the democratisation of education. Anyone with an internet connection can learn from the best. And because of this, in the future “self taught” or “online taught” may become as common as “coached”.
