To enhance skill learning, focus on maximizing repetitions during practice sessions, allow time afterward for the brain to rehearse what it learned without distractions, and make many errors during initial sessions to enhance neuroplasticity through the reward process.

The mental strain you feel while learning is actually a trigger for neuroplasticity, which allows your brain to adapt and grow.

It's important to orient your nervous system towards the task-bracketing process, similar to warming up your body before exercise, to prime your brain for habit execution.

The stress of trying to achieve perfection can damage your performance more than the imperfections themselves, so it's important to find balance and allow for mistakes.

You have to keep going despite mistakes; it's part of the performance experience.

If someone points out that you need to work on your fundamentals, it may be time to pause your progression and address those essential skills.

Repetition is vital in practice, but it must be good repetition to provide your body with the right information.

What we practice, we get good at, so if the first thing you do in the morning is practice stress, you're conditioning your mind and body negatively.

The joy of getting better at a skill often comes from the practice itself, rather than from questioning the method of practice.
