it's not difficult, the kid has had amazing physical coordination since before he could speak; he's a star soccer player and he's just fucking awesome-- he just can't sit quietly in class, which reminded me of that dancer story the limey dude in the video tells.
i think you believe the video talks about the arts alone but no, he clearly speaks about different types of intelligence-- musical, kinesthetic, visual, etc-- and how the schools are not set for that kind of variety.
a similar thing happens with business schools and entrepreneurs-- business school doesn't teach you how to build your own company, it teaches you how to be a well-trained corporate officer.
