Recently we heard about some absolutely fascinating longitudinal studies regarding performance and achievement on the ‘Beers with Chad’ podcast, run by international powerlifting coach and powerlifter Chad Wesley-Smith.
The studies are in the book The Talent Code by Daniel Coyle, that Chad talks about from 3:26 into this podcast recording. The book looks at the habits and practices of successful people, from musicians to tennis players and everything in between.
