This kinda reminds me of Noel Burch's "Four Stages Of Competence" framework.

1. Unconscious Incompetence - you suck, and you don't know why

2. Conscious Incompetence - you suck, but at least you can articulate the reasons why

3. Conscious Competence - as long as you think about your actions, you can do okay

4. Unconscious Competence - you do just fine even when not talking yourself through it

In that 4th stage, your reactions have gotten faster than your language.
