How about 20 hours? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MgBikgcWnY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MgBikgcWnY
The 10k hours thing is based on how long it took athletes to become the very top of their field. The very top of their highly specific, highly competitive field. It doesnt even mean becoming an 'expert' (whatever that means), let alone just being good at it. Anyway, check the TED Talk above, 20 hours to proficiency.
- systematical 12y agoI first heard of it from Malcolm Gladwell: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outliers_(book) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outliers_(book)
- silverbax88 12y agoActually, Gladwell has specifically said it does not really apply to sports.
- Freeboots 12y agoi was referring more to the original 10 000 hour rule proposed by K. Anders Ericsson & co. I would also say that in Outliers, Gladwell seems to implying that while 10 000 hours of practice is common in such 'outliers', simple luck is an equal if not greater part.
