The fundamental problem here is that there isn’t actually a way to increase human performance by deliberate training very much, absent gene editing, and the basic reasons for this sum up to “lots of ability is much more genetic in nature, and environmental factors are often overestimated heavily in learning, combined with the brain mostly not learning after 25 years old, and while the human brain always learns, it does so at a substantially reduced rate once you reach 25 years old, so most training programs can’t teach them too much, unfortunately.”
At least, this was my half-remembered view of what areas like neuroscience and genetics fields found out about human abilities.
