Below is an interesting artical on the importance of practice.

Do you play golf or tennis? Are you a good swimmer? Have you ever worked with a
coach to improve your technique? How long did you practice what your instructor was
telling you before you could do it correctly without thinking about it?
If you’re one of the millions of fans who follow the career of golfer Tiger Woods, you may
remember that 2004 wasn’t one of his best years. Even though he had already achieved
greatness at an early age, at the beginning of the season Tiger made a number of
changes in his swing. The changes were designed to make the world’s best golf swing
even better. But then Tiger struggled all year, winning only one tournament and finishing
fourth in total winnings.
However, at the end of that year his game came together for him, and he won two postseason
tournaments back-to-back. In 2005 he won his fourth Masters. He placed second
in the U.S. Open and won the British Open, leading the field from start to finish. He
finished the year with six victories, ranked first in the world with about $10 million in
winnings. In 2006 he repeated this pace of winning, dominating the PGA tour.
The point is that excellent instruction is only the beginning. Tiger Woods hits golf
balls all day long nearly every day. And yet, he had to invest an entire year of persistent
effort before he ingrained the new patterns that improved his game. Another point is that
Tiger could not have made this effort without a strong internal motivation to change. His
desire to have the best possible swing, to compete, to win the major championships and
to be the best golfer in the world are what kept him at the practice tee. And he had great
coaching. It’s common knowledge that he has invested as much as a million dollars a
year for a swing coach who will keep him on track.
