Document Summary

Ericsson(cid:859)s model of the phases of development toward adult expertise. Whiteley, ginn, nicholson & adams (2009) (cid:858)sports participation and humeral torsion(cid:859), Implications for training in other activities: early training appears necessary for classical ballet students to get maximum turnout at the hip, dancers need to be coordinated on both sides. In complex activities skilled performers develop automated (cid:858)chunks(cid:859) of the entire piece. If skill practice is continued long enough, a person may eventually become skilled enough to be considered an expert. Top performers reach their high levels of achievement in part by avoiding automaticity. In sport, chess, physics, medicine, bridge, typing, auditing, dance, music and other domains, all with thousands of participants, the individuals who attain internationally recognised levels of exceptional performance do so only after spending about 10 years in intense preparation. Expert performers engage in deliberate, work-like practice for around 4 hours every day. (cid:858)putting in the hours(cid:859) is not sufficient to reach the highest levels of performance.
