Believe me I’m terrible at singing but after freaking 7 years non-stop training now I got a response by a few persons like “wow that’s actually good” “why don’t you go and join a competition” “please sing this song for me please”. Now after almost 7 years of training its all worth it but believe me Im far cry from being a professional singer but I’m so happy that the progression is there.
I can relate to this. I think I inherited my mums singing voice (bleedin awful! 😁) but I love music and I subconsciously sing along with it and always have done. I remember my early twenties and I couldn't reach anywhere near where I can now. My girlfriend recently said "it's alright for you, you can sing" (I was secretly so happy with this) but I can only sing because I did it so much. I could never do what I do now - then. So I know that this video is absolutely correct. I also got into snooker a couple of years ago and applied the same approach - highest break so far is 52! I haven't been able to play regularly with the lockdown but I would have had my century by now. A good thing I read in a snooker book - "it's not practice that makes perfect, but perfect practice" he went on to explain that if you are practicing something poorly, it will do you more harm than good, but by applying yourself properly - practicing in the right way - it will do much more for you than obsessive repetition.
True! I took voice lessons for two years. My voice coach, who for about ten years had been a professional vocalist with a major symphony orchestra (that you have probably heard of), told me that she was still taking lessons herself and still learning how to sing. I realized then and there that it would take me the rest of my life to learn how to sing well enough to meet my own standard. I switched to piano. At least a person can learn to play piano credibly in about seven years or so. I figure I’m about half way along in that journey.
Three short phrases relevant to this video that I've embraced over the years: - Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. - Practice makes permanent, perfect practice makes perfect. - Mindful repetition, not mindless repetition.
SUMMARY: Elements I need to be successful. What do i need to learn? Plan, reflect and take notes, after your practice, learn what worked and what didn’t GO SLOW. Too fast can make our brain lesrn the wrong skills Limit sessions to a reasonable time so that I don’t lose focus. Maximise practice time Track small intervals of improvement Emulate practice, not performance. Learn how they practice. Repetition makes practice. Rutine. Have a day and schedule planned for your practice. Get a coach.
the point of this video is to help you build drive. Not motivate you. Motivation is garbage. A driven man walk through hell with faith and confidence knowing that he is walking the right path and all will change when the right time comes.

You absolutely can use deliberate practice to improve your thinking skills. I know this is true because I had to learn how to do this to learn Japanese. 今、ちょっと日本語ができます。 To learn and get good at anything whether that's becoming a competitive gamer, learning a language, a martial art, drawing, animating, lucid dreaming, playing an instrument etc. I've notice one main consistent thing that applies to all of them. That is breaking down the thing you want into smaller simpler skills. Most of the time you need to learn how to get good doing even a basic task most people might not even think of as a skill before you can actually start learning the main thing you want to learn. I've been learning Japanese, and Bass Guitar. And before I could even start learning Japanese I had to learn how to learn a language. Before I could even play one part of one song on the bass, I had to learn and get used to how to properly hold the bass and how to smoothly switch between the the different notes and different strings on the fret. Now I feel like I can learn literally any skill out there if get interested in one. And I believe everyone has the potential to learn anything if their determination and conviction is strong enough to never give up.
I can attest to this analysis of yours. I have the same thing going on (tho these days I have relapsed, that is, did not practice in days). It is truly mindboggling how breaking down a task and slowly learning the basic and essential parts can make the learning easier itself. Wonderful!

When performing almost any action, what's happening behind the scenes is that interneurons in some part of your brain (such as the cerebellum for mechanical actions like playing the piano or soccer) send signals down your spine and over to the motor neurons your arms and legs to perform desired actions. Over time, if you keep repeating a certain action (especially mindfully), the connections will become stronger, and you'll be able to perform an action with more ease, grace, and speed. The reason for this is the myelin sheath (which is found on the pathway of the connection and is responsible for helping the transmission "jump" and get from the interneurons to the motor neurons faster) grows thicker and thus allows the transmission to get to the motor neurons faster and faster. Doing this many, many times over will make you a master at anything :)
I work as Master Black Belt, I provide training to help people to learn Six Sigma, Lean, Problem Solving, KATA. All these methodologies are based on the application of rational and systematic approaches, all of them have the scientific method embedded, but one of the main reasons to fail on the application of them is the lack of practice. Knowledge is not enough if the theory is not interiorized to the point one can really understand the concepts. Deliberate practice is the key to developing new skills, no matter what the activity is. I found this video very useful to reinforce the importance of deliberate practice to develop new skills. Thanks!
With steel clubs and kettlebells, I've learned the value of micro-loading, breaking up movements into several steps and analyzing how my body is accomplishing the movements, down to the the body part. Due to my age, I've learned to give myself ample time between sessions so my body can recover. Slow and deliberate motions is always good advice. I practice with and without a mirror, which trades off between seeing and feeling what I'm doing, and both have value.
Deliberate practice is definitely a big part of becoming exceptional at a particular task. I have used this to achieve things in my life that blow the minds of people who meet me
I love the outline of recommendations in this video. A lot of what's shared here aligns really well with the idea of brain plasticity. Especially with regard to how the brain grows and changes in response to gaining new skills or information. As well as the idea that without continuous use of those new skills, much like the focus on repetition over a length of time explained here, the brain can return to its previous state. Some truth to the saying "if you don't use it, you lose it" I imagine!
What an incredible school! I really appreciate these practices and find it much more interesting and useful than the ones of tradicional schools. When I was a child I remember that the most important thing for me was having an A+ and now that I'm 18 years old, I realize how awful it was, because I wasn't interested in learning things, just in being the best student of my class. I really love deliberate practice!
Slow learning where you discover things at your own pace goes in much deeper. Because you want to find out more. Now that school is behind you you can really start learning (whatever interests you).
I'm a musician and I play three types of saxophones, all three common versions of bass guitars, and the keyboard. I stopped playing for three decades over personal reasons, but the Pandemic made me return to music. I restarted playing in 2020 November - today at 2021 November I'm playing them all even better than 30 years ago. Practice is key, but, PASSION is the indispensable fuel behind dedicated pursuit.

Great content! I'm ESL learner and I'm working on my pronuntiation skills and I think this concept is not just fascinating but also compelling for keeping me practice daily!
Good science and research, and great advice about how to maximise practise return by breaking down movements into smaller ones and perfecting them first. Now, the thing that’s hard here isn’t understanding you should practise, it is to do it. Actually do it. I know it’s hard, it’s a very lonely journey of tons of hours of repetitions, and you don’t get external feedback often, I often have to spend hundreds of practise hours before anyone besides me can tell a difference. You have to be patient, and learn to love the practise itself. Perhaps find it comforting or stress removing. But it is hard work, no matter how you twist and turn it. Good luck everyone that wants to learn a new skill!
This is exactly what I've been doing for my volleyball training the past 2 years and I hoped to increase my vert. It was 22 inches before training and after deliberate practice and routine its now 35 inches so I have improved drastically over the past 2 years. So yes it does work but you need to give it time
Love this video! Im practicing Portuguese, and going slow definitely helps as well as tracking small intervals of improvements to keep you from going crazy..! Thanks for the upload!
What helped me greatly in language learning, were audiobooks. As soon as you can understand most of what is said, start listening to audiobooks. I listened almost non stop at work.
I will use all this tips to improve my RUclips videos. Quick story for months I tried to create an animation self help RUclips channel but I was so afraid of so many things. 3 weeks ago I decided to give it a try and I'm in love with the process I'm really bad making videos and I'm still learning English but I feel SO good doing it :). Thanks for this video! I really needed.
Cal Newport says in his book 'So good the cant ignore you' that deliberate practice is the most boring and painful thing ever but the most rewarding. So I guess you have to start enjoying the pain
it is important to not reinvent the wheel on what you are studying. have a proven format of how to do your lessons. and follow his instructions in the video above.
This is a very cool video and excellent explanation of deliberate practice. What we have found is that the one thing that makes the difference in learning is how you do it and the discipline with which you do it.
Thank you for making a good motivational video. The part you said about following the "routine" is much appreciable. If you follow a routine then you will be keen and active.
I can't stress "Limit Your Sessions to Focus" enough. I used to teach quality control software to technicians. After teaching for months, I made it a point to lecture briefly, no more than 10 minutes at a time. After that, I made the class practice on our machines. Once they got that, I'd have another short lecture & made them practice that. Over time, I had them apply combinations of what they'd learn to cement their knowledge. I honestly think most of them got it.
Sometimes ago I started practicing classical guitar. My coach told me our brain is too lazy to learn.First you should train your fingers i.e teach them what they should do with utmost focus. After that comes the practice session which is repetition with rhythm. Keep your mind and fingers on the strings. Now I'm beginning to innerstand.
The 10,000 hour rule is bogus; it might take that long if you practice mindlessly and without direction; you can master a skill much, much faster with an intelligent practice routine.
I think you are probably right. It probably takes the time it takes a bone to heal and strengthen. By that, I mean its just an organic re structuring. To do a skill you need to develop all the associated brain and nerve tissue including associated muscles for that skill. The tricky part is discarding faulty practice. If the practice is slightly off, you also develop those organic structures in the brain for that faulty practice. Then it becomes much harder for the brain to differentiate similar skills as they are all associated and in the same location. I think success is probably being aware of these things and the ability to go to extraordinary lengths to zone in on specifics. OR what you said 🤣
The difference between an amateur, pro, and master is their level of consistency. An amateur can do the things a master can do 1/10 times, a pro 1/5 times and a master nearly every single time. The 10,000 hour mark is to define their level of consistency
Summary by Ali Bin Naseer ( me ): 1. Define Success and Drill Deliberately ⇒ Create a clear roadmap and follow it blindly 2. Plan, Reflect and Take Notes ⇒ After each session of practicing, take some notes about what you learned 3. Go Slow ⇒ Go slow and correctly about learning a skill 4. Limit Your Sessions for Focus ⇒ Focus for some time and practice deliberately 5. Maximize practice time ⇒ Practice most of your time and focus 6. Track Small Intervals of Improvement ⇒ If you are running, track your time in milliseconds rather than minutes or hours 7. Emulate Practice, Not Performance ⇒ Study how others practice 8. Repetition Makes Perfect ⇒ It takes 10,000 hours to practice something 9. Routine is Everything ⇒ Practice early in the morning and eat breakfast late 10. Get a Coach/Mentor ⇒ A coach is experienced, so they will teach you with experience

At first it takes a lot of effort to get the practice everyday Then you do it without thinking about it, so it feels like the effort barrier disappears. Then you value practice so much that you will go out of your way to squeeze it somewhere in your day when things get busy, because you are afraid of what will happen if you don't practice
I want to improve my memory and thinking skilks, cause I realized that they are the reason behind other habilities failures. The problem is I forget training or why I wanted to improve my memory, until I fail in other fields, so I remember "ah I should train my memory and mental capabilities.." then the same process beging until the end of the times.
I think in start everything looks tough we do mistakes unknowingly because we have no much knowledge and there are a lot of people who don't know how to teach you anything so you have to practice by your own self and it takes a lot of time to be trained starting you find yourself doing mistakes for example I don't know how to cook and after marriage I make many mistakes in cooking and finally today I know so much about cooking and still learning alot of things .
Defeberly! We can picture our mind as a muscle too. If we train it well, it grows stronger and bigger. Therefore, the mind becomes more capable of processing larger information and enduring more efforts and patience.

03:30 Practise/repetition doesn't make perfect. Practise makes permanent. So if you practise something incorrectly it becomes permanent. Hence the need for deliberate practise. Perfect practise makes perfect. That's where the deliberate comes into practise.
I had my first moment of realized automation yesterday. I was down to the wire with a guy in an online fighting game (Street Fighter V). He jumped at me in an attempt to finish me off and I panicked. In my head was blank fog, I had no idea what to do or which side of me he was on. I was pressing buttons in a panic and I thought for sure I was mashing every button on the controller. Turns out I did my character's bread and butter combo (requires precise timing and specific button presses as well as a specific directional movement from the control stick) perfectly as soon as the other guy landed and won the game. I had no idea that combo was going to come out and my own hands did it. I've been playing the same game and character almost every day for over three years.

I want to master golf but honestly, no one have masterd it yet not even tiger Woods but I do belivie golf is the hardest sport of all sports, we have to plan a strategy for the course, excute the plan (have the technical skills to get the ball to there you want it) you also need a strong mind to not be angry att bad shots and make it worser, all this is just a part of something big but yet simple thing: get the ball into a hole in the fewest shots. It is many skills to learn and it takes years to be slightly good at it
This is how I became professor X at my university 🌌 🎓 graduated top 🔝 of the class 🎭 in performing Arts and many orther things 😁 🦕 📜 🧘♂️ 🧘♀️ 🙏 much practice and meditation
One importante note: Repetition don't make perfect. Repetition makes it permanent. If you practice it wrong, the repetition of the wrong thing will make the error permanent and then you will have to come back to the learning later to correct those mistakes. So it's important to practice a skill with patience and slowly so you will make the correct decisions at each repetition, then the correct decisions will become automatic after some time.

A true master will tell you: "True mastery is not achievable." Every day one must recreate oneself and one's world anew. Any 'mastery' is only relative: Relative to yesterday, or to one's neighbour; relative to tomorrow, or to one's possible self. Be not discouraged, play once again. Peace to all.
You quote an unnamed master contradicting himself, volunteer advice on how to live and offer your semi-baked thoughts on mastery. You think you are wise, but you are merely cool; which is not a bad thing, if you are after girls who think that their genitals are only ever to be used as a cheap entertainment.
I see the different between my 20-30 years old "i want to be better to achieve something" attitude and the new "burned out, i want to die in every 2nd minute because i'm worthless no matter how hard i try" attitude. While the first was destroyed by society and multinational institutes, the last one is well celebrated among society and they want to keep me in that state.
I learned this cocept 15years ago from a tennis coach by he name of Jack Reader, Alexander Dolgapov's old coach. You should have a talk with him about this
I believe there's some research on sports training showing that slicing too much the individual movements in practice is not as effective as something "messier," approaching real-game/performance constraints and randomness. Like, you improve more sparring than shadow-boxing or punching bags aiming at perfect form, or in "friendly" basketball/soccer games than repetitive shoots at one given place. These practice simplifications can make one feel to have improved more, as they've indeed improved on the practice these artificial conditions, but it doesn't "transfer" as much than something that's closer to real practice/game, even if improvement in the latter isn't "felt" as much.
When you become really good at something, becoming better in itself becomes the main goal. You train only because it makes you better, not because you want to show it off to someone someday.

I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.
Bruce Lee
1,000? Don't be a sissy he said 10,000
What's so difficult about it to google and see if you're right?
This quote by Bruce Lee always reminds me of Rock Lee from Naruto.
Deliberate practice is definitely a big part of becoming exceptional at a particular task. I have used this to achieve things in my life that blow the minds of people who meet me
I love the outline of recommendations in this video. A lot of what's shared here aligns really well with the idea of brain plasticity. Especially with regard to how the brain grows and changes in response to gaining new skills or information. As well as the idea that without continuous use of those new skills, much like the focus on repetition over a length of time explained here, the brain can return to its previous state. Some truth to the saying "if you don't use it, you lose it" I imagine!
true. I have read about Long term Potentiation and how there are synaptic changes when we repeat and/or practice a skill.

Mastery is very good but l think this one was for Peak by eric andersson
What an incredible school! I really appreciate these practices and find it much more interesting and useful than the ones of tradicional schools. When I was a child I remember that the most important thing for me was having an A+ and now that I'm 18 years old, I realize how awful it was, because I wasn't interested in learning things, just in being the best student of my class. I really love deliberate practice!
Slow learning where you discover things at your own pace goes in much deeper. Because you want to find out more. Now that school is behind you you can really start learning (whatever interests you).
As someone who is learning to be a full-time trader, these points resonated with me, and it's just how I'm doing. Thanks for this video.
I'm a musician and I play three types of saxophones, all three common versions of bass guitars, and the keyboard. I stopped playing for three decades over personal reasons, but the Pandemic made me return to music. I restarted playing in 2020 November - today at 2021 November I'm playing them all even better than 30 years ago. Practice is key, but, PASSION is the indispensable fuel behind dedicated pursuit.

Good science and research, and great advice about how to maximise practise return by breaking down movements into smaller ones and perfecting them first. Now, the thing that’s hard here isn’t understanding you should practise, it is to do it. Actually do it. I know it’s hard, it’s a very lonely journey of tons of hours of repetitions, and you don’t get external feedback often, I often have to spend hundreds of practise hours before anyone besides me can tell a difference. You have to be patient, and learn to love the practise itself. Perhaps find it comforting or stress removing. But it is hard work, no matter how you twist and turn it. Good luck everyone that wants to learn a new skill!
Our average modern kids need this. Social media has skewed their minds of exceptionalism without realizing the practice and work
This is exactly what I've been doing for my volleyball training the past 2 years and I hoped to increase my vert.
It was 22 inches before training and after deliberate practice and routine its now 35 inches so I have improved drastically over the past 2 years. So yes it does work but you need to give it time

I will use all this tips to improve my RUclips videos.

Thanks for this video! I really needed.
great! keep going! its just a matter of practice.
Well said... building foundation of a new skill is always boring but it s most important if you want to excel with your new skill later in your life.
You forgot the most important point, which is to enjoy the journey.
Cal Newport says in his book 'So good the cant ignore you' that deliberate practice is the most boring and painful thing ever but the most rewarding. So I guess you have to start enjoying the pain
isn't that really the only good point? After all, once we "complete something, we ask for more.
@@joyanngitau6682 The most boring and painful thing is to stop advancing and stagnate.
@@joyanngitau6682 No pain, No gain. As it's said.
Absolutely! For the “plan, reflect, take notes” part im going to add what i enjoyed about the session. What was fun, what was not.
Deliberate practice can improve any person and it can help a person achieve anything that he or she wants to achieve.
it is important to not reinvent the wheel on what you are studying. have a proven format of how to do your lessons. and follow his instructions in the video above.
This is a very cool video and excellent explanation of deliberate practice. What we have found is that the one thing that makes the difference in learning is how you do it and the discipline with which you do it.
Thank you for making a good motivational video. The part you said about following the "routine" is much appreciable. If you follow a routine then you will be keen and active.
Great video, I took notes and put them on my whiteboard. Excellent wisdom points to keep for life
I can't tell you how much I have developed from your vedios thank you for your work thanks again
Sprouts is d best decision of my life
Spend times on grammar too, it will reaaaally improve your message
The answer to get better in something is so easy but doing it is the hard part
This can believe only person who haven't done highly advance volume with seeing only title..and you do in this process....lot more....
Deliberate practice is amazing! If you set your mind to it, you can achieve maximum greatness! Nice! :D
I can't stress "Limit Your Sessions to Focus" enough. I used to teach quality control software to technicians. After teaching for months, I made it a point to lecture briefly, no more than 10 minutes at a time. After that, I made the class practice on our machines. Once they got that, I'd have another short lecture & made them practice that. Over time, I had them apply combinations of what they'd learn to cement their knowledge. I honestly think most of them got it.
Love this process for adapting and learning. Practice is crucial for business and health goals too!
Sometimes ago I started practicing classical guitar. My coach told me our brain is too lazy to learn.First you should train your fingers i.e teach them what they should do with utmost focus. After that comes the practice session which is repetition with rhythm. Keep your mind and fingers on the strings. Now I'm beginning to innerstand.
This one of the best videos online.
30 second of video i already motivated.
I really like this video because i'm feel better for my progess in studys.

'PROPER practice' makes one get better and better
Proper is the key word here. If U do sth properly, U will get the desired results🙏
The 10,000 hour rule is bogus; it might take that long if you practice mindlessly and without direction; you can master a skill much, much faster with an intelligent practice routine.
Is there any book on that?
I think you are probably right. It probably takes the time it takes a bone to heal and strengthen. By that, I mean its just an organic re structuring. To do a skill you need to develop all the associated brain and nerve tissue including associated muscles for that skill.
The tricky part is discarding faulty practice. If the practice is slightly off, you also develop those organic structures in the brain for that faulty practice. Then it becomes much harder for the brain to differentiate similar skills as they are all associated and in the same location.
I think success is probably being aware of these things and the ability to go to extraordinary lengths to zone in on specifics. OR what you said 🤣
The difference between an amateur, pro, and master is their level of consistency. An amateur can do the things a master can do 1/10 times, a pro 1/5 times and a master nearly every single time. The 10,000 hour mark is to define their level of consistency
Yeah good luck becoming world class under 10000 hours.
YES! Deliberate practice reprograms the subconscious to automatically perform what you learn.
I'd give double thumbs up if possible. Great job guys!
thank you ! :)
A video better than other. It´s really helping me on how to learn new things.
thank you paulo!
Summary by Ali Bin Naseer ( me ):
1. Define Success and Drill Deliberately ⇒ Create a clear roadmap and follow it blindly
2. Plan, Reflect and Take Notes ⇒ After each session of practicing, take some notes about what you learned
3. Go Slow ⇒ Go slow and correctly about learning a skill
4. Limit Your Sessions for Focus ⇒ Focus for some time and practice deliberately
5. Maximize practice time ⇒ Practice most of your time and focus
6. Track Small Intervals of Improvement ⇒ If you are running, track your time in milliseconds rather than minutes or hours
7. Emulate Practice, Not Performance ⇒ Study how others practice
8. Repetition Makes Perfect ⇒ It takes 10,000 hours to practice something
9. Routine is Everything ⇒ Practice early in the morning and eat breakfast late
10. Get a Coach/Mentor ⇒ A coach is experienced, so they will teach you with experience
At the end it's on your dedication & patients as how much time you give yourself to master anything you want to be good at...
For me it was thw spinning a book on one finger thing. Daily practice for about a month, now I can do it comfortably
Your videos are really awesome, not to mention the narration very good

At first it takes a lot of effort to get the practice everyday
Then you do it without thinking about it, so it feels like the effort barrier disappears.
Then you value practice so much that you will go out of your way to squeeze it somewhere in your day when things get busy, because you are afraid of what will happen if you don't practice
I want to improve my memory and thinking skilks, cause I realized that they are the reason behind other habilities failures. The problem is I forget training or why I wanted to improve my memory, until I fail in other fields, so I remember "ah I should train my memory and mental capabilities.." then the same process beging until the end of the times.
Daniel F. - Repetition is the key and one of the hardest things to master.
I think in start everything looks tough we do mistakes unknowingly because we have no much knowledge and there are a lot of people who don't know how to teach you anything so you have to practice by your own self and it takes a lot of time to be trained starting you find yourself doing mistakes for example I don't know how to cook and after marriage I make many mistakes in cooking and finally today I know so much about cooking and still learning alot of things .
Practise and repetition makes perfect
Great video. Simple, clear, and effective.
Thank you!
Defeberly! We can picture our mind as a muscle too. If we train it well, it grows stronger and bigger. Therefore, the mind becomes more capable of processing larger information and enduring more efforts and patience.

My brain: **blacks out**
Me: **wakes up after a few hours and goes to bed because I'm tired af**
our brains: yes
I think it definitely works for language learning: an element of drilling is highly beneficial.
The desire to do everything fast has límited me from improving my English language proficiency. I have searched a lot of coachers and finally I throw on the towel, and I don't achieve my goal. I will have to focus on a single skill, with a single coacher and constantly repeat the coacher's suggestions.

Thanks for the video. some amazing things that I will put into practice
03:30 Practise/repetition doesn't make perfect. Practise makes permanent. So if you practise something incorrectly it becomes permanent. Hence the need for deliberate practise.
Perfect practise makes perfect. That's where the deliberate comes into practise.
Right!
Great and concise advice. Will try to do this from now itself
thanks
@@sprouts damn, i didnt do it and i am back to this video .
I had my first moment of realized automation yesterday. I was down to the wire with a guy in an online fighting game (Street Fighter V). He jumped at me in an attempt to finish me off and I panicked. In my head was blank fog, I had no idea what to do or which side of me he was on. I was pressing buttons in a panic and I thought for sure I was mashing every button on the controller. Turns out I did my character's bread and butter combo (requires precise timing and specific button presses as well as a specific directional movement from the control stick) perfectly as soon as the other guy landed and won the game. I had no idea that combo was going to come out and my own hands did it. I've been playing the same game and character almost every day for over three years.
As part of the FGC, albeit another game, this is pretty inspiring. Keep it up!
This is great. Thank you for sharing.

I want to master golf but honestly, no one have masterd it yet not even tiger Woods but I do belivie golf is the hardest sport of all sports, we have to plan a strategy for the course, excute the plan (have the technical skills to get the ball to there you want it) you also need a strong mind to not be angry att bad shots and make it worser, all this is just a part of something big but yet simple thing: get the ball into a hole in the fewest shots. It is many skills to learn and it takes years to be slightly good at it
and I think you need add uncertain factors like wind flow, air humidity or some sort into account. it matter too I guess

One importante note:
Repetition don't make perfect. Repetition makes it permanent. If you practice it wrong, the repetition of the wrong thing will make the error permanent and then you will have to come back to the learning later to correct those mistakes. So it's important to practice a skill with patience and slowly so you will make the correct decisions at each repetition, then the correct decisions will become automatic after some time.
practice, learn by doing
Elements I need to be successful. What do i need to learn?
Plan, reflect and take notes, after your practice, learn what worked and what didn’t
GO SLOW. Too fast can make our brain lesrn the wrong skills
Limit sessions to a reasonable time so that I don’t lose focus.
Maximise practice time
Track small intervals of improvement
Emulate practice, not performance. Learn how they practice.
Repetition makes practice.
Rutine. Have a day and schedule planned for your practice.

A true master will tell you: "True mastery is not achievable."
Every day one must recreate oneself and one's world anew.
Any 'mastery' is only relative: Relative to yesterday, or to one's neighbour; relative to tomorrow, or to one's possible self.
Be not discouraged, play once again.
Peace to all.
You quote an unnamed master contradicting himself, volunteer advice on how to live and offer your semi-baked thoughts on mastery. You think you are wise, but you are merely cool; which is not a bad thing, if you are after girls who think that their genitals are only ever to be used as a cheap entertainment.
I see the different between my 20-30 years old "i want to be better to achieve something" attitude and the new "burned out, i want to die in every 2nd minute because i'm worthless no matter how hard i try" attitude. While the first was destroyed by society and multinational institutes, the last one is well celebrated among society and they want to keep me in that state.
Yep, that way we buy products that might make us appear “better, more attractive” etc.
I learned this cocept 15years ago from a tennis coach by he name of Jack Reader, Alexander Dolgapov's old coach. You should have a talk with him about this
Imma big fan for sprouts
I believe there's some research on sports training showing that slicing too much the individual movements in practice is not as effective as something "messier," approaching real-game/performance constraints and randomness. Like, you improve more sparring than shadow-boxing or punching bags aiming at perfect form, or in "friendly" basketball/soccer games than repetitive shoots at one given place. These practice simplifications can make one feel to have improved more, as they've indeed improved on the practice these artificial conditions, but it doesn't "transfer" as much than something that's closer to real practice/game, even if improvement in the latter isn't "felt" as much.
Simple yet amazing video gratz

When you become really good at something, becoming better in itself becomes the main goal.
You train only because it makes you better, not because you want to show it off to someone someday.
