Practice does not equal mastery. I've been playing guitar for 35 years and will likely never master it. Driving on the other hand I'm very good at. If comes naturally.

Why would people in high level sports/competitions practice if it doesn't? Seems like a waste of time then.

Just because practice doesn’t guarantee mastery doesn’t mean you can’t use it to become a master. It’s about intentionality and conscious effort to challenge yourself

I never said practice isn't needed. We agree it's needed. After 35 years, in a decent guitarist but I'll never be a virtuoso. I'm an excellent photographer. I've practiced both, but am only really good at one.

I never said you don't need to practice. I said practicing will not make just anyone a master.
