The Problems with Deliberate Practice (2020)
I&#x27;m not really sure what I&#x27;m supposed to do with this article - it seems written as a hit piece on Deliberate Practice, but doesn&#x27;t live up to that by more or less pointing at various works and saying, &quot;That seems crazy!&quot;<p>Anders Ericsson passed away in 2020, but fortunately in 2019 he wrote a comprehensive article describing his journey through the discovery of deliberate practice and how it evolved over the ensuing 25 years.  I would suggest reading this <i>in addition to</i> the submitted article, if you&#x27;re interested in <i>better</i> understanding the &quot;Problems with Deliberate Practice&quot;:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.frontiersin.org&#x2F;articles&#x2F;10.3389&#x2F;fpsyg.2019.02396&#x2F;full" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.frontiersin.org&#x2F;articles&#x2F;10.3389&#x2F;fpsyg.2019.0239...</a><p>Edit: The author has this to say: &quot;Is deliberate practice good enough to work? My opinion — one that’s informed by painful experience attempting to implement the results of Ericsson’s research — is that, yes, deliberate practice does work, but it’s really difficult to turn the principles into a practice program if you are in a field where no ‘highly-developed, broadly accepted training methods’ exist.&quot;<p>Edit2: I was too harsh, edited to tone down the language!
