Following on from our recent article on WWPIS on the potential misunderstanding by some parents of the 10,000 hour rule we are delighted to show another video from Dr Ross Tucker who highlights the fact that the vast majority of research suggests it does NOT take this long to become world class.
In this video Ross introduces you to the false dichotomy that was created between talent and training, and how some books have falsely scorched the notion of talent in the name of encouraging people and offering them hope. That’s never a bad thing, of course, but it became counter-productive, for reasons that he’ll explain.
He also critiques the original violin study, and offer up examples who disprove the rule, and share his thoughts on where the message got distorted (deliberately or otherwise).
