The difference between a good skier and a great skier is a matter of mastering the methods. One skier can move significantly faster than the other skier, thanks to a slice of improvement. Hence, if you want to be extremely good at cross country skiing, you’ll need a lot of practice and skill. However, these techniques have nothing to do with walking on skis. If someone wants to go for a walk in the snow, that person should consider wearing snowshoes instead of skies. Similarly, if we desire to excel in a task, we need to put our effort in the right place in the right way. Otherwise, we can get off track of our goals if we work on the wrong thing or in the wrong way when we practice.
