The Dunning Kruger effect describes a cognitive bias where people with limited knowledge or skill in a specific area tend to overestimate their abilities and competence in that area. This bias can lead them to incorrectly perceive themselves as more skilled than they are, and also mistakenly underestimate the abilities of others, according to Psychology Today. 

Key aspects of the Dunning-Kruger effect:

• Overestimation of Abilities:Individuals lacking expertise or knowledge in a particular domain may be overly confident in their abilities and overestimate how much they understand or know. 
• Lack of Metacognition:This bias is often linked to a deficiency in metacognition, the ability to think about one’s own thinking and performance. 
• Reverse Effect:While commonly described as a bias of those with low competence, some theorists also discuss the opposite effect, where highly skilled individuals might underestimate their abilities relative to others, according to Britannica. 
• Unawareness of Ignorance:Individuals with low competence may not be able to recognize their mistakes or limitations, further reinforcing their inflated sense of ability. 

Examples of the Dunning-Kruger effect:

• Beginning Aviators:A new pilot might overestimate their ability to handle complex flight maneuvers, according to the British Psychological Society. 
• Medical Residents:Junior doctors may think they are capable of treating patients more effectively than they actually are, according to the British Psychological Society. 

Personally, i think i live most of my life about half way up the Slope of Enlightenment, Or, is this just me sitting on the Peak or Mount Stupid?

But, as a sports coach, i may be able to help, wherever you are.

Living the best life.

My life, so many things are unimportant, age, gender, religion, colour, income, social standing. None of these make any difference at all.

A bold statement!

Standing at the top of a drop in, Mountain bike, Snowboard, Ski,   Pushing the tail of a skateboard over the coping,  ready to drop into that bowl, Rolling into some downhill MTB, Hanging off a rope, with rock in front of me, and birds behind.

I live a world where  as a 60-year-old man it’s cool for me to chat to a 15-year-old boy if he is doing something Uber fucking cool and that 15-year-old boy at the same time will chat away to me because he hopes I’m still doing this shit when he is my age.
There are no obstacles other than self imposed ones.  Free your mind from those, make friends because they have shared interests and the world will just feel better.

Definitely not a 9 to 5.
Happiness can be as simple as a grouse butt to sit in and watch absolutely nothing go by.

For a whole range of outdoor activities, paddle sports, rock climbing, hiking, archery, mountain biking, skiing, snowboarding navigation skills.

We can help give you an exciting and interesting day out.

If you’re 9:00 to 5:00 is getting you down on the fluorescent strip lights in your ceiling, feel a bit depressing. Get in touch. The ceiling in my office is astounding. Sometimes it’s blue, sometimes it’s grey, sometimes it’s hot, and sometime is wet but it always lifts the heart.
