This echos my own experience over past couple of months. Deliberate intellectual approach and introspection. I improved a lot when I started doing that. However, when I try to talk about it with my friends and trainers, they dismiss it. I don't expect them to have the answers, but they're not particularly willing to engage in conversation either. They don't understand what I'm talking about. The advice I always get "this is different, you have to feel it". Repeat repeat repeat until you get it. That never worked for me. Or rather, I work hard but the benefits are slim. I feel like I've been getting 30% gains from the training while I could be getting 80%.
