From good to great

I have been coaching my kid to learn soccer for sometime now. Quite recently, I ran into this thought about how one can raise from a good player to a great player. If you think about soccer, anyone who has a soccer ball knows how to kick a ball, I mean just blindly kicking. Very low barrier to entry into this sport. With some hard work, one can move from a novice player to a good player, but to move from a good to a great player is not at all easy. This transition takes relentless practice, dedication, perseverance, planning & many many other skills. It even might take many years to reach there.

The same thing applies to the 'Business' world.
