Reps
“Reps, Reps, Reps.”
Learning, improving, deliberate practice…the underpinning of it all—the unspoken current flowing through any progression—is getting reps, in all forms, consistently and frequently.
In practicing a craft, just show up, and get reps: tiny reps, technical reps, reps from questions, reps by observation, reps by research, reps, reps, consistent, persistent reps!
Repetitions strengthen neural pathways, which I think of in terms of Cobwebs into Cables.
When working on a specific craft, and when you’ve passed a threshold of basic competence, then it’s valuable to identify specific areas to work on and to drill them deliberately. This is called Deliberate practice, a term coined by the “expert on experts” K. Anders Ericsson (kit).
Damian Lillard talks about how getting the reps gives him to confidence to be so clutch.
Adrian Martinez casually talks about getting reps with the option.
