I always thought that the best way to develop a skill was to start early and to use deliberate practice to focus on that skill. However, I have just finished reading the book ‘Range’ and it convincingly challenges this view. Instead, it argues that you need to develop a range of skills first before you specialise.
Does anyone have a view on which is best range or focused deliberate practice?
