17 – Getting Deliberate About Practice & The 10K Hour Rule

How much does an athlete need to practice to become truly elite?
What should it involve?  Should it be
fun?  Can everyone become a great athlete if they just
practice enough?  In this episode, I focus on the most
well- known theory in this area called Deliberate Practice,
popularized as the 10,000 hour rule.
