Assignment: Alternative Ideas on Deliberate Practice

Q Directions: Read: The article by Drake Baer from Business Insider (not an academic source) titled "New Study Destroys Malcolm Gladwell's 10,000 Hour Rule (Links to an external site.)" "Reports from Michigan State University Highlight Recent Findings in Psychology (Links to an external site.)" (less than one page) From this Lima et al article "Deliberate Practice, Functional Performance and Psychological Characteristics in Young Basketball Players: A Bayesian Multilevel Analysis (Links to an external site.)" only read the abstract paragraph (first page) and the conclusion paragraph (pages 9-10). Then, post a response here to this question: What do you believe leads to success in sports, arts, or education? Why? Support your point with at least one example from Gladwell or from one of the three articles above. Do not copy ideas from the internet for this post. To post, hit "reply" directly under this box. Type in the text box. Don't hit reply under a classmate's post as that is seen as a direct response to their post and starts a new thread. There is no wrong answer here! The only "wrong" answer is to not submit a discussion post at all or to copy ideas from the Internet.
