But then there's the Jerry Rice method

He would typically continue practicing long after the rest of the team had gone home. Most remarkable were his six-days-a-week off-season workouts, which he conducted entirely on his own. Mornings were devoted to cardiovascular work, running a hilly five-mile trail; he would reportedly run ten forty-meter wind sprints up the steepest part. In the afternoons he did equally strenuous weight training. These workouts became legendary as the most demanding in the league, and other players would sometimes join Rice just to see what it was like. Some of them got sick before the day was over.
So the pathway to becoming the greatest is to:
1. Find what you are naturally talented at.
2. Use your brains to strategically develop habits that take your natural talents and push them to their utmost extreme.
3. Execute on the habits and work harder than everyone else.
Thank you for posting this WIA. For whatever reason, I want to become the absolute best at something. Reading articles like this reminds me of what it takes to do that.
