Listen "030 - Practice - David Epstein"
Episode Synopsis
Is it true that all it takes to be an expert is 10,000 hours of practice? What about professional athletes? Do different people get more out of practice than others, and if so, is it nature or nurture? In this episode we ask all these things of David Epstein, author of The Sports Gene, who explains how practice affects the brain and whether or not greatness comes naturally or after lots and lots of effort.Patreon: http://patreon.com/youarenotsosmart Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
