hockeygodWhat Does Great Practice Feel Like?
Daniel Coyle, The Talent Code, May 31st, 2012
What’s the best deep practice made of? Novak Djokovic, top-ranked player in the world, gives us a peek at his recipe. (Skip to 1:05 for the best moments.) It includes:
1) Intensity: full-effort reaching, clear results, quality feedback.
2) Smallness: it focuses only on a few targeted qualities — for instance, improving touch, and the ability to disguise shots.
3) Game-ishness: this is no boring drill. It’s the opposite — a thrilling, absorbing, emotion-generating game (as the ending shows).
The next question: is there a math-class version of this? A music-lesson version? A software-coding version?
