== Deliberate Practice versus Physical Preparation ==
PreparatoryDeliberate Practice is not just any form of preparatory activity, but is defined as as "highly structured activities that (a) are most relevant for improving performance, (b) are cognitively effortful, and (c) have no immediate rewards."<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Bartulovic|first1=Dora|last2=Young|first2=Bradley W.|last3=McCardle|first3=Lindsay|last4=Baker|first4=Joseph|date=2018-10-18|title=Can athletes' reports of self-regulated learning distinguish deliberate practice from physical preparation activity?|url=https://doi.org/10.1080/02640414.2018.1455493|journal=Journal of Sports Sciences|volume=36|issue=20|pages=2340–2348|doi=10.1080/02640414.2018.1455493|issn=0264-0414|pmid=29569522|s2cid=4224464}}</ref> There is a rise in discovering the differences within the details and connection between deliberate practice and physical preparation. Some researchers propose the idea that self regulated learning can help athletes overcome practice constraints. With this, athletes are more inclined to achieve and develop as an athlete. Ericsson wants to pursue a more detail oriented approach on how deliberate practice is measured and how it is different from other types of training.
