We Talkin’ ’Bout (Deliberate) Practice
Everyone’s heard of the 10,000-hour rule, but few understand what really separates good from great. In this episode, Matt Carroll sits down with Dr. Ryan Caserta — Lead for Cognitive Enhancement and Research at U.S. Special Operations Command — to unpack the science of deliberate practice.
From special forces operators to world-class athletes, Dr. Caserta has spent 15+ years helping people sharpen their minds, refine their skills, and achieve mastery. Together, we break down why it’s not about just putting in the hours, but about effort, specificity, feedback, and the motivation to keep going.
If you’re ready to level up in sports, business, or everyday life, this conversation will change the way you think about practice.
