This book focuses on the incredible power of Deliberate practice.

The perfect pitch can be “taught” with proper practice. Steve Fallon could remember 82 digit numbers by keep practicing the short term digit recall task with the author.

Without deliberate practice, once someone reaches an acceptable level, they don’t grow anymore.

Such purposeful practice requires a specific goal, a focus, and feedback. It should push one out of their comfort zone.

A lot of deliberate practice is about obtaining more efficient mental representation. See also Embedding.
