A theoretical defence and refinement of the deliberate-practice framework, addressing proposed limits on the effects of practice in acquiring expert performance.

The PROMACHOS reading

The disagreement in this literature is itself instructive. PROMACHOS publishes both sides rather than the side that flatters coaching.

This work was produced by its authors and published in the journal named above. PROMACHOS did not conduct this research, holds no interest in its findings, and provides this summary for educational use only. Read the source before relying on it.
