Yeah, that's a lot of hours but take a step back and think about it. practice or education isn't necessarily regimented or location specific. LL spends a lot of hours in organized practice and games but nowhere near enough to get him to that 10,000 hour mark, BUT:
3 recesses/ day x 5 days/week playing soccer
Watching the pros on TV
Watching my adult teams play each week
Streetball in the neighborhood
Even playing FIFA on playstation teaches things @ the game.
In LL's case adding all thatto his normal practice and game schedule means the kid has probably averaged 12-15 hours per week for more than 5 years playing or learning about the game. Easily 12-15, but even at only 10 hours each week he'd still have racked up more than 2,500 hours by the age of 9.
