The benefits are undeniable: practice is the routine exercise required to maintain and develop any skill. Once this has been accepted, practice can then be further defined as maintenance and development. Maintenance usually requires review of previous developments. Therein lies the benefit of first defining developmental practice. After engaging in a practical activity the reward reinforcing such behavior, either real or imagined, marks the individual with a first impression. This motivates the desire that furthers development.
Being conscious of the degree to which a skill may progress, and the time commitment required to develop such a skill, may cause trepidation. Attending to the initial appeal may be sufficient but not necessary to overcome the paralytic fear that threatens to, and often does, thwart the progress of a beginner. This is why training from a skilled mentor is so highly valued. The benefit gained from the practical behavior is reinforced and the pupil develops rewarding habits.
