I moved to Kuala Lumpur in November last year to train for an accelerated expertise experiment in Judo. I wanted to see how far I could go if I trained every day, doing proper deliberate practice, and with the Malaysian Senior Nationals as my goal.

That experiment ended last month.

I’ve finally written up my results from that experiment: https://commoncog.com/mental-strength-judo-life/

Mental Strength in Judo, Mental Strength in Life

Results of a four month accelerated expertise experiment in Judo. Or: "I expected to learn about deliberate practice but instead learnt a ton about my mental shortcomings."
