  • Deliberate practice is a mindful and highly structured form of learning by doing. It’s a process of continuous experimentation to first achieve mastery and eventually full automaticity of a specific skill. A 2014 study published in Psychological Science argues that it can increase our performance by 26% in games, 21% in music and 18% in sports. Here are some tips on how to do it well.

    Deliberate practice is a mindful and highly structured form of learning by doing. It’s a process of continuous experimentation to first achieve mastery and eventually full automaticity of a specific skill. A 2014 study published in Psychological Science argues that it can increase our performance by 26% in games, 21% in music and 18% in sports. Here are some tips on how to do it well.
    Define Success and Drill Deliberately
    Define all the elements you need to practice to become successful. Then drill each element deliberately, one after the other. In Tennis, that could be first your serves and then later your leg work. If you want to become a professional barista, first perfect your moves to make the espresso, then your skills to serve the ideal coffee.
    Plan, Reflect and Take Notes
    Plan out your practice routine, for example in a notebook. After each session, reflect and write down what you've discovered: what worked? What didn’t? The idea is to get a clear sense of how a particular session improves your skills and then to experiment to find a new and even better way to achieve your goals.
    Go Slow
    To build a good foundation of muscle memory, practice slow and correctly. If we move too fast, we risk learning and internalizing the wrong skills, which can bring terrible consequences. To achieve mastery, our brain needs time to develop. So start slow and then gradually increase the speed until you give all you've got.
    Limit Your Sessions to Focus
    Deliberate practice is hard mental work. Limit the sessions to a reasonable duration that allows you to stay focused. This may be 15 minutes if you are younger and 60 minutes if you are older. A Cristiano Ronaldo trains around 3-4 hours of football a day. Young Shaolin Monks practice 2 hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon, To keep their attention high, they switch the style of practice every 10 minutes.
    Maximize Practice Time
    Legendary basketball coach John Wooden used to let each of his players practice putting on socks and shoes so that they learn to do it really fast. By doing this, he maximized the time to practice throwing the ball and discussing game strategy with his team.
    Track Small Intervals of Improvement
    If you practice running 800 meters, count the milliseconds, not the minutes. If you are working out or practice controlling your diet, measure milligrams and millimeters. The smaller the data points you measure, the faster you see progress and the more you feel motivated to continue.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    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.

      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 🤣

    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.

    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!

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.

    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.

    Yes, BUT each individual has natural limits to their ultimate ability in any endeavor. Practice will make you better at whatever you attempt, BUT it does not guaranty you will become the BEST. It is a fact of nature that some people have more ability than others. If this were not the case every runner would be "the world's fastest", and so it goes for every endeavor. Unrealistic expectations of your own performance will only lead to frustration and can make you want to give up. Practice to improve your performance and find satisfaction in your personal improvement.

      You are right but the point is to improve, not to compete. And most people can improve much further than they believe.
      A coach used to ask chldren how tall they coult stack wood pieces. The children expected one foot high stack, but achieved 3 feet high or more. Then the coach told them that was the difference between their opinion of themselves and what they could really achieve.

    • @SpaceCadet4Jesus
      @SpaceCadet4Jesus 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Most people don't come close to the height of their natural ability for many reasons so it's much better to believe you can attempt an unreachable goal and fail than to think you will never reach it because of some assumed lack of ability. You will automatically know where your natural and trained abilities take you once you give yourself to your goal. Nobody is asking for guarantees. Not knowing that you would achieve much, instead, would lead you to give up before even trying or after half hearted attempts. I don't need my limitations in mind, I need my possibilities.
      Note: The word BEST is ill defined, in most cases. It needs a qualitative subject or comparison. Example, this is the best mexican restaurant with meal pricing vs. the other Mexican restaurant we ate at. That may be true, but if the food is worse...well then what is the best. I wish we didn't have the word BEST, it rarely ever describes something which is informative. I take a different approach than UTArch1.

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.
