Deliberate practice is about making small, specific changes to improve a skill. It involves:
- Paying close attention to what you’re doing
- Knowing your current skill level and what’s holding you back
- Setting clear goals
- Breaking down the skill into smaller parts
- Working on each part one by one to improve

Deliberate practice isn’t just for football; it’s a life skill for improving any area. These steps themselves are skills you can learn. It takes time and space, which is what open learning provides.
