Deep Practice


Deep practice it`s designed specifically to improve performance, it can be repeated a lot, feedback on results is continuously available and it`s highly demanding mentally.

Remember this 4 steps:

1. Pick a target
2. Reach for it
3. Evaluate the gap between the target and the reach
4. Return to step one

To understand how deep practice works, we must understand the importance of mistakes to the learning process. A few years ago, the researchers did a study to see what determinates babies improve at walking. The key factor wasn`t height, weight, age or brain development. It was the amount of time they spent trying to walk!
