I just finished The Sports Gene and it was my introduction into David’s work. It was reaaaaaalllly good. A little brainy for me but interesting nonetheless.
The 10,000 rule was created by Ericsson and he hates what it has become.
I’d recommend the entirety of this article in the very least but will leave an excerpt below:

Think back to the "Danger of Delegating" letter. Ericsson's own criticism of the "10,000-hours rule" explains...
Start at the 45mph. Then once you can get that nose down(-2 to -4°) about 80% of the time increase to around 50mph until you can do the same there.
Theoretically you’d throw farther slightly nose up at 60mph than 45mph nose down. But that’s not what you’re competing against. You want to throw...
I think it is going to be tough to time no matter what. But this is not new to sports. We pronate and internally rotate on a tennis serve and likewise with the club face in golf. They are relatively large moves that the body learns to time through repetition and focus with incredible accuracy. I...
