Everyone knows everyone else’s backhand, or, if they don’t, it is commonplace to inquire. Working on your backhand might mean, for someone who is on the arrogant side, trying to wait until the forty-five-minute mark to make a first comment in an hour long meeting. In contrast, someone on the insecure side, in that same meeting, might work on offering a contribution in the first fifteen minutes. Either move represents working on one’s backhand—practicing to overcome a deep-seated mind-set.
An Everyone Culture

Isn’t there a danger in creating Tim Tebows? That is, isn’t it likely that we will create strong attractors for movement solutions that work early in the learning process but will not be successful later on (and will be more difficult to change at that point)? I am not worried about this happening if we continue to move practice up the representativeness continuum and use the 70% rule as a guide. Attractors for ineffective movement solutions do not arise because we fail to step in to prescriptively correct them. Instead, they arise because we spend too much time practicing in conditions of low representativeness with a very high-performance success rate.
