10,000 hours. 
It takes a long time to truly master any art form. Whether it's in sports, music, match, sciences, etc. The rule we always hear is 10,000 hours.

Yes - it takes a long time to get truly great at something. But no, it is not guaranteed that you will be better than someone if you simply "log in more hours than them." Remember that the 10,000 hour rule is incomplete in that it does not account for the quality of practice. The focus level, the willingness to train at the edge of your abilities, and the patience go back and correct those failures. The preparation, and the visualisation. 
There's a lot more to it than just the amount of time spent out there, so make sure you're not wasting your time. Understand that your mind cannot comprehend what you are truly capable of. All it knows is it's current state. We constantly redefine what our best is, and we do that during every training session. A large part of that will be when no one is watching, drenched in sweat, chipping away at our craft. Slowly - very slowly, we begin to redefine how good we can actually get. We start to believe that there is more.
