was the epitome of a pilot who reacts to the moment with just the
right amount of input. No way can you fly like that and take time to
think about what happening and what you need to do for control inputs.

You can probably sum up the entire experience of learning to fly in this
one paragraph.
When you break all of it down, it boils down to this one thing.
You start out as a student flying the airplane by thinking about what
you are doing as you do it. This is fine. This is why you have an
instructor with you.
You begin to become a pilot the instant you begin flying the airplane
without having to think about what you are physically doing to make it fly.
Your mind can now be occupied as it must be with WHERE you are taking
the airplane instead of what you have to push or pull, in order to get
it there.
