Document Summary
Practice is the key element that fosters excellence in sport. Talent with out practice is very uncommon but these people might make it look effortless. This rule means that you must practice for at least 10 years to be good at something. Theory of deliberate practice suggests that practice plays at least some role in athletic success but how much of a role depends on the individuals and sport characteristics. Three stages consist of early years, middle years, and late years. Practice time increases signi cantly during middle years. Three alternative stages of sport participation; sampling years (6-12), specialization (13-15), and investment (ages 16+) Main difference in these two theories is in deliberate play and deliberate practice. Deliberate practice is de nes as perforce with the intention to improve. Other models just rely on innate ability. One person must be motivated to practice and this level of motivation plays an essential role in high achievement.
