Chapter Summary
Daniel Coyle describes his experiences from his travels to
various “talent hotbeds”. Although these hotbeds specialize in different
fields, the students who were most successful were practicing what he calls “deep
practice”. Most people passively go through the motions of practice and don’t retain
what they’re doing. But those who are most effectively practicing are the ones
who struggle and make mistakes, identify them, and then correct them until they
get it right. This method of deep practice is applicable to ALL types of skill
sets.
Key Concepts
Practicing is of little use, unless it is focused and intentional.
Mistakes are very useful if immediately identified and corrected.
Key Terms
Deep practice.
Talent.
Making Connections
I don’t need endless amounts of time to make progress. I can’t
be afraid to make mistakes, but I should be afraid of not fixing those
mistakes.
