Rebound Rules The Art of Success 2.0 12-09-08

Later in the book Pitino talks about the importance of having deliberate practices. He defines a deliberate practice as one that is focused, intense and goal oriented. He uses the example of golf when he is talking about this kind of practice. He says that to succeed a golfer must not only hit a bucket of balls, but have a set of goals as he hits these balls. They must set a goal to hit 80% of the balls within 20 feet of the pin. This is what Pitino says defines the good from the great. He says that many are willing to pay the price to be great, but few go about it the right way. To be great one must not only do the necessary thing but they must do them with a purpose.
