10,000 Hours to Mastery

Experts (more on this experts term to come) cite the "10,000-Hour Rule" repeatedly. True or not there is some validity to it.

Dan McLaughlin a jon doe quit his job in hopes to transform himself into a professional golfer. He has no previous experience nor special ability in golf but he is doing it to on the premise that the "10,000-Hour Rule" is true. By using the “10,000 hours of practice” model for mastery he’s engaging in six hours of deliberate golf practice a day and hopes to try out for the PGA tour in late 2015.

Here is Dan's story... see he really does exist.

Some related math:
(8 hours/day) x (6 days a week) x (50 weeks a year) x (4 years) = about mastery level

(2 hours/day) x (6 days a week) x (50 weeks a year) x (16 years) = about mastery level

Take 33.33/how many hours a day you can dedicate to it and that is how many years you will take to reach mastery. So you better start working on those free-throws now Shaq.
