WYC Episode 041 – The 10,000 Hour Rule? – Dr. Michael Cathey talks player development and deliberate practice

Today’s guest on the show is Dr. Michael Cathey. .  Michael is a professor of exercise science and physical education pedagogy at Tennessee Tech University.  He has coached high school football and baseball as well as his kids' teams at the youth level.  Michael did his dissertation studying the 10,000 rule and has written and studied this topic extensively. 

One huge idea I took from Dr. Cathey was in the 3^rd quarter – where he shares a really effective way to discipline kids so they learn. A second huge idea was in the 4^th quarter – where he discusses player development through deep and deliberate practice and what this looks like. I hope you enjoy his insights and stories!
