On this episode, Chewy and Eugene discuss the main principles of "deliberate practice" from the book "Peak" by Anders Ericsson and how to better develop and maximize progress in BJJ.
We discuss why talent is overrated, why some people excel physically at specific sports and why BJJ is unique, training for skill and not for knowledge, why developing skill is a "messy process," what makes a "skilled" coach in BJJ, the importance of having a "mental representation" of the technique, trying to acquire skill is not always fun, and how to get out of plateaus.
