LL was asked to guest on a team two years up from him for a semifinal game today. 8 goals and 2 assists in an 11-10 win.

The opposing coach (who doesn't know me or LL) stopped over to give the recruiting speech afterwards and his lead-in was, "your son has a natural gift..."

Made me think of this thread.

I just now bothered to do the math. 10,000 hours in 10 years is about 3 hours a day. Every day. For 10 years.

How do you fit in 3 hours a day on top of school and homework and sleeping? It really is a sacrifice. You have to give up a normal life if you want to be elite.

3 hours a day is a long time. My daughter practices 2 hours a week. Of course, she's not elite.
