Forget the '10,000-hour rule.' Here's why letting children pursue their own interests when it comes to athletics will produce happier kids.
Popularization and misuse of "deliberate practice" and the "10,000-Hour Rule" hampers the youth sports experience.
“Are you kidding me?!?” I silently thought. Sadly, they were not. It was everything I could do to mask my shock and dismay. While the concept of deliberate practice is invaluable to our understanding of expert skill acquisition, the misunderstanding and abuse of deliberate practice, and the 10,000-hour rule, have distorted expectations for young people, ruining their sport/performance experience.Summarizing research conducted by Ericsson, et al., and others, deliberate practice is a highly intensive, purposeful activity requiring immediate feedback and correction by the performer.
. Team and group practices differ in many ways and are less intense than deliberate practice and, thus, can go longer./performer is cut out, or developmentally ready, for the intensity of deliberate practice.Issues with the “10,000-Hour Rule” are not from the rule itself, but rather from overzealous coaches, instructors, parents, and other adults shoving way too much practice down young people’s throats in their quest to squeeze in 10,000 hours to produce elite athletes, musicians, dancers, etc.
