The Dan Plan and 10.000 hours to become progolf

The Dan Plan

Dan Laughlin, the thirty year old photographer, who three years ago decided to become a professional golfer from scratch is testing the theory of the psychologist Anders Ericsson that is possible if it takes 10,000 hours of practice. Dan after three years and 5.000 hours got a handicap of 5.2 and still be covered almost half of the way. Will he make to achieve this dream which nobody would have bet? What it’s certain is that so far has already achieved something important, to demonstrate that an adult person, even without any previous competitive experience in sport, thanks only to his commitment can get a surprising result for the low handicap achieved in such a short time.

The Dan Plan is running very well

Never having played 18 holes of golf, in April 2010, Dan McLaughlin quit his job as a commercial photographer to pursue a goal of becoming a top professional golfer through 10,000 hours of deliberate practice, that he will reach by October 2016. The beauty of the Dan Plan is that everyone can watch is program on internet. Dan is testing the Anders Ericsson’s theory concerning the 10.000 hours needed to become expert. It’s a so unique story that Dan proposed in his web site: “Want to learn how to set off on your own Dan Plan? Start here and we will send you a five step guide to launching your Dan Plan.” It seems to me a very nice approach to know that hours + quality program = expert.
