Bounce, Bounce, Bounce,
Talent is a myth, like the Easter bunny.
Have you been told that you don’t have talent? Has this
stopped you from achieving your goals? In his revolutionary book ‘Bounce’,
former table tennis star Matthew Syed reveals the true determining factors for
success.
Practice makes perfect is a saying that all of us have heard
at one time or another, but how often do we actually think about it?
After retiring from a successful table tennis career, Syed
began researching what separates the great from the not-so-great, and has
revealed the ingredients for creating champions. Because we are so kind here at
Joga 11, here they are just for you:
1. Purposeful practice. You need a staggering 10,000 hours of intense training to be world class at
any sport, a recommended 1000 hours a year, for ten years.
any sport, a recommended 1000 hours a year, for ten years.
2. Superior systems. If you aren’t already lucky enough to train using one, it is important to find the most effective methods or systems.
Now obviously the road to success is a lot easier said than
done, but above, you have all that it takes to become the new Lionel Messi or
Cristiano Ronaldo.
For decades now the world has believed that the key component for success is talent, something that supposedly sets us part at birth and determines who will be great and who will be mediocre. Put up your hand if you honestly think this is fair. If you were to look very closely into the lives of those that are perceived to be talented, you will find that they got to the top the only possible way, hard work. To quote Syed, "the talent myth robs individuals of the incentive to transform themselves through effort"
If any of this makes sense to you, read 'Bounce', I can guarantee that it will blow your mind.
