This video is about the science of developing skill. Most of my other videos are about the science of how to access that skill to perform in any situation. Think of deliberate practice as the holy grail of what it takes to become an elite level athlete. Every world class athlete got to where they are because of this type of practice. And think of meditation, visualization, flow states, and self-talk as strategies to help you access your skill in any situation you may encounter.
As it turns out, many athletes became world champions with minimal practice.Ericssons work is viewed with great scepticism amongst the scientific community.It is proven that deliberate practice is NOT the most important factor.It is also proven that genes are very important in achieving expert performance.
Very complete and accurate. There are a lot of assumptions about deliberate practice that preclude the necessity for mental representations and a qualified teacher. I’m pleased that you did enough research to know otherwise.
Did you realise that its all wrong, and deliberate practice is not what actually makes you good at things? Its a poorly defined concept, open to interpretation, and none of the core defining elements can be quantified so as to actually ascertain to what extent one is practising "deliberately". Its a rubbish concept....
To reach performance, you start like this: 1.Naive training(here you gather experience with YOUR body and how YOU can get the job done; best to perform in the actual "warzone") 2.purposeful training(here you try to imitate professionals by taking what you want to learn and dividing it in as many parts as you can, while still going perfect form and speed) 3.deliberate training(improving the above conciously, and then force yourself slowly to go automatic)
so happy i found this channel. great videos. keep it up. Maybe for future videos you can go over those books in the background and what books you would recommend.
For the meantime, I think the following are must reads: (This is a good order in which to read them) - Mindset by Carol Dweck - Grit by Angela Duckworth - Peak by Anders Ericsson - Choke by Sian Beilcok - Altered Traits by Daniel Goleman - Why Meditate by Matthieu Ricard - The Brain that Changes Itself by Norman Doidge - 12 Rules for Life by Jordan Peterson - Rethinking Positive Thinking by Gabriele Oettingen - Learned Optimism by Martin Seligman
Thanks! If that is an overwhelming list, stick to the first 6 I listed. They are the most important for any athlete/person wishing to become masterful at something
A great question for me is this: How can I elevate the elements and quality of deliberate practice in my own efforts to learn? I may be using them all, but not at their best effect. For instance, how many ways can I improve feedback? How often do I use video recording? Is that recording analyzed for angles and speed? Are those measurements analyzed against a model of elite players? Can an expert coach suggest drills or other steps to improve performance?
Harder to learn skills when older since brain is more plastic when younger. But it's still certainly possible. Even a skill like perfect pitch. Some studies showing that it can still be learned later in life, albeit with significantly more time and effort.
@@FocusMrbjarke that is not the case. It has been conclusively shown that practice does not account for difference in ability. Why do two people undertaking identical practice regimes have orders of magnitude difference in the rate of skill aquisition. What takes one of them a day, takes the other a month to learn.Same hours, same focus, same instructor, same regimen, yet two completely different outcomes?
@@pinny492 It probably because one is a beginner and the other more accomplished at what they do. The better you are at what you are doing the less time you have to spend practicing due to better mental representations.
@@FocusMrbjarke however, 2 people with the same skill level still never advance at a similar rate.For example 2 kids who have never kicked a ball before go to socker training.Both have the same coach, do the same drills, show up to practice the same amount, practice at home the same, yet one of the two will end up much better than the other.why is this? It is impossible to replicate elite level performance in most individuals, no matter what training they undertake.My own observations show clearly that changes to training style only ever have very small influence on skill aquisition. Once you observe a slowly progressing student, no matter who takes over training them, or no matter what alterations they make to their training regimes, they invariably remain poor learners.In fact, i would say if the student is not remarkably skilled within 2 years of first contact with the chosen field of endeavour, there is very little chance they will ever reach elite ranks, regardless of any measures they or any coach/tutor/mentor employs.The idea that anybody can become expert at anything is totally false.There is simply no evidence to support this line of thinking.
@@pinny492 Well there is a lot of things that determine if someone reaches the top like grit, growth vs fixed mindset and if you are working on a skill that is rarer and valuable for example but I would say there is published more about Deliberate practice and there is more that support it than what you propose. Can you provide specific studies that support what you claim?

Exactly, it's not just 10.000 hours, it's a combination of talent, time and how you practice and focus
Mental representations are like neural sensors that perceives and simplifies the familiar pieces of a large physical structure through automation.
Easily one of the best reviews of this topic and book out there. Great stuff, thanks!

You have a good style of presenting information and your tone and cadence is good. Just some feedback for you. :)
Excellent style
He’s been practicing
Mate you’ve got an amazing underrated channel, thanks a lot✨
Good video. Good content and delivery without fluff.
Thank you for your detailed videos, keep it up!
Excellent and very helpful information as always. Thank you very much! Hoping you'll upload more videos soon.

hmm not really, I recommend you check out the book Peak by Anders Ericsson
This channel is supposed to be way more watched and known by athletes
I've been watching your videos since yesterday, and watched the visualization video couple of times, I love your content keep making these pls
Thank you! More coming this summer :)
so happy i found this channel. great videos. keep it up. Maybe for future videos you can go over those books in the background and what books you would recommend.
Yes, will eventually get to that. Have lots of videos to make, but it's hard while I'm in school. Will post more frequently in the summer

@@masteryblueprint_ Good Luck with your studies and appreciate you listing the books.

Great video !!! Very well explained !!! Great job ; Thank you !!!
Excellent video. Thank you!
Powerfull info here! Thanks
great content, keep it up!
Freaking love your channel man. Keep it up :)
More give us more videos brother...🙏🙏
I'm doing my best :) Next video should be out shortly. During the summer, I will have less school/work, so I'm aiming to upload lots then

Let's do a call, I think I can help. I assume you're playing soccer. What's your email?
nicely done.
loved the vid thanks
Good job
Shit this much useful and easy to understand
This is goated
👌
Ok,what is the downside of the so called ' fast improvement' ,since you put up pics of athletes?
What happens when they hit 35-40 age mark?

Deliberate practice is rubbish.Doesnt work, end of story
Then you are doing it wrong

Practice is useless.
Bro is way too negative and frustrated😂
@@Hipsey_Nussle It was proven empirically and statistically that practice won't make you good if you don't have correct genes, upbringing etc...
