True or false: deliberate practice is unnecessary to gain expertise.

FALSE.

In virtually every field of knowledge, practice is as important as theory. You study and learn in theory how things work, according to your area of expertise. However, you gain experience even in practice.

For example, the act of driving. You learn in theory all the traffic laws and the running of the car. However, the first time you drive is usually stressful. However, after a while, with practice, driving becomes something very simple. That's because you practiced.
