Deliberate practice.
/For many years I have characterized my training work as Proper Practice.
Some of the ideas in my practice come from Geoff Colvin’s book Talent Is Overrated where he cites Anders Ericsson’s idea of ‘deliberate practice’ which is:
designed specifically to improve performance, with a teacher’s help
it can be repeated a lot
you receive feedback on results
it is highly demanding mentally
it isn’t much fun
