Whether it's changing your diet, investing your money, or practicing, it can sometimes be difficult to tell if you're doing it "right" because meaningful change usually happens gradually over time.I guess in an ideal world, we'd be able to pick a strategy, hop into a time machine, and see how it pans out in the future. And then go back to the present, pick another strategy, peek at the future again, and see which worked better.But for now, there's a 2001 study that basically does the time travel thing for us. Where it compares the practice behaviors of the best free throw shooters and that of the worst free throw shooters to see if they do anything different. Spoiler alert, there is a difference. Two important differences that we can apply to music practice.It's actually one of the specific things we're going to work on in the live practice "bootcamp" that starts this week (details <a href='https://members.bulletproofmusician.com/edu/performance-psychology-essentials/'>​here​</a>). But whether you plan to join in or not, do give this week's practice hack a try and see what you think.
