How To Master Any Skill (Become Top 1%)

[@intentionally]

My piano teacher from growing up used this technique brilliantly. I was always learning two pieces - one inside my comfort zone, and one outside my comfort zone. Whenever I got tired of working on the hard piece, I had something more manageable to fall back on. Very much recommend anyone learning a musical instrument do the same.

[@scaferz9644]

I think fundamental to mastery is acknowledging that mastery doesn’t happen overnight, it’s a long and oftentimes arduous journey, that requires sustainable and continuous effort. Oftentimes I think one of the main differences between those that master and those that don’t, is the ability to endure and keep pursuing.

That's the issue here people, we are not talking about being a master and mastering skills afterwards right? Am I the only one who sees this? How can a guy/gal make progress in their workouts if they did not work out at all and after a warm up do 1 minute of something extreme? How is that not dangerous?? If you are skilled, do whatever you want and however you want, but being a 1st level and trying 100 level work is irrational and dangerous!! Edit: You are attempting to do something NEW!!! Meaning you have not done that yet.

@@scaferz9644 you can try easy calisthenics skills like the L-Sit, the Tucked Front Lever and the Pseudo Planche leans, and/or other hard exercises like high pull-ups (or just pull-ups, since they're pretty difficult), clapping and diamond push-ups, and of course the Handstand. You can search tutorials on youtube if you don't already know them, and try to be careful and not to overdo it. Some of these stuff could be dangerous if you don't watch out

This has been the main method of practice for my dojo for some time now. We call it "make it harder". Basically, if we can't do something, we don't break it down we ramp it to the next level.

There is this story told by one basketball coach, he got invited to work at Kobe's camp and he got a chance to see Kobe's workout, he spent first 45 minutes just working on the most basic footwork and skills, skills that children learn in middle school with crazy focus and effort. So the coach asked him, "You are the best player in the world, why do you work on your basics?" (this is happening in 2007) and with a smile on his face Kobe said "Why do you think I'm the best player in the world, because I never get bored with the basics"

[@laido]

You can only train on your limits if your basics and fundamentals are right. There are basics in juggling that are hard to achieve, yet if you learn them well there will be no limitation on how far you might go, if the basics are wrong there's a point in skill you can't go further unless you fix the basics. Some people try to cheat their way by practicing seemingly higher skilled stuff with wrong technique. It might make them feel better for the short term, but they won't get far.

If I want to get better results, i have to "go out of my comfort zone", that is I need to play on higher game level! But it takes time and efforts, and if you have patience, you will master any skill!)

[@derekxiaoEvanescentBliss]

This is interesting because im big on indoor climbing and one thing some pros emphasize is "showing up" even if you dont feel peak condition, and cant "try hard". On those days, you should repeat climbs that you are already physically capable of doing, but focus on various areas of technique. Just trying to provid a counter example. Lots of these kinds of learning/practicing strategies are rules of thumb rather than iron clad laws.

[@laido]

Well depending on what kind of day you have and how you feel, you can either decide to go for progress or go for maintenance. If you just show up you just prevent getting worse, while if you go past your limits you are improving and reaching new territory. This method incorporates maintenance after progress, but progress keeps being the priority while for most people maintenance is priority, which is the reason for improving less. None of the two alone are enough all by itself. Progressing in something new is like building a skyscraper, while practicing your routine is strengthening the foundation. Both of them are important, but the order of priority is what dictates how fast you will progress. There's a lot more to it, that wouldn't fit here but if you are really interested I discuss this entire technique in detail in a free pdf. You can grab the link in my channel bio ✌️

[@pufelmulticolorido]

Interesting thoughts but I wonder how that contrasts with "I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times". In other words, perfecting those 4 moves instead of focusing on learning new difficult moves.

[@acpfeiffer6057]

I think the difference is in your goals for the skill. The video is talking about the fastest way become an overall master at a skill, but what you're talking about is the fastest way to make the skill useable, by mastering individual uses of a skill one at a time. There are pros and cons to each method.
