10,000: The Most Dangerous Number in SportsDavid Epstein, Author and Journalist

David Epstein, author and senior writer at Sports Illustrated, will explain the origins of the “10,000 hours rule” — that it takes approximately 10,000 hours of deliberate practice to master a skill — and whether rigorous and consistent practice from a young age is the only route to athletic excellence. He’ll also discuss how it damages both the ultimate performance and health of youth athletes.
