Deliberate Practice Essential to Top Performers

[AverageJoe4]

this theory of deliberate practice you talk about, does it come from a book called "talent is overrated"? i'm reading that book right now and it talks about the exactly the same thing. good video

@AverageJoe4 It comes from hundreds, probably thousands, of studies on acquisition of expertise. Most notably K. Anders Ericsson. These researchers have found that the number one determinant of expertise is number of hours of deliberate practice. Innate talent is, for the most part, a fallacy.
