Sure, but it doesn't lead down the same path. My oldest loves basketball.

If he plays 10,000 hours of pick up basketball over the next 12 years, he's going to be a stud in the Spokane men's league at 28 years old....probably better than everyone except for the former D1 guys and the former pros.
If he spent those same 12 years doing 10,000 hours of dedicated practice (working on shot mechanics, specific drills to improve dribbing and hand eye coordination, working on body placement and footwork and reactions to the same from a defender, etc, etc) then he'll be a professional basketball player in Europe somewhere after playing at a D1 school.
That is the difference in just playing/doing something for 10k hours vs. performing dedicated practice for 10k hours. It's the differentiation between very good at something vs. great at something. Do you want to be the Top 1% or do you want to be the 1% of the 1%?

- I agree. I assume that all players have the same opportunity. - OskeeWowWowDig April 13, 2026, 14:16:13
- They apparently do not. The course does not grant the same level of access.* - Lexillini April 13, 2026, 14:42:03
- Outliers is a great book and the 10,000 hours rule is a misunderstood statment, but in general - villain April 13, 2026, 14:29:27
- I use some excerpts of the general rule of 10,000 from the book with my struggling readers... - OskeeWowWowDig April 13, 2026, 14:41:49
- I've always thought this 10,000 hours claim was largely bullshit. - Lexillini April 13, 2026, 14:57:55
- I've been playing guitar a lot lately. But if I play for 10,000 hours, I won't be Slash - AceFrehley April 13, 2026, 15:20:19
- But if that is all the 10,000 hours claims really boils down to . . . - Lexillini April 13, 2026, 15:50:47

- Elite would be 10,000 + physical tools/propensity. - OskeeWowWowDig April 13, 2026, 15:23:02
- 10,000 dedicated practice hours is a LOT of work. Obviously, it probably - OskeeWowWowDig April 13, 2026, 15:16:59
- Not all golfers, including not all of those who were going to be playing in the Masters . . . - Lexillini April 13, 2026, 13:45:48
- To be fair, it is an advantage to play the course more than the others - AceFrehley April 13, 2026, 13:25:22
- I don't know the rules but i would bet most pros could get in to play - AceFrehley April 13, 2026, 12:11:38
- Clearly and advantage, but whether or not it is fair is a matter of perspective. - GAIllini April 13, 2026, 10:47:04
