What is practice?
- By itself, not inherently enjoyable (requires effort; no immediate reward)
(Ericsson, Krampe, & Tesch-Romer, 1993; Lehmann, Sloboda, & Woody, 2002) - A skill that can be taught
(Lehmann & Davidson, 2002) - Improvement of skill is expected
(Kostka, 2002) - Ā Self-teaching
(Jorgensen, 1995) - Solitary activity
(Lehmann, 1997) - Lack of a coach as usually found in sports
