While reading the article one thing that made sense to me as a  reader was breaking barriers in order to perform better from practicing with top sports people. Using practice can lead you pass what you want to achieve in life whether sports or remembering something .I can relate to this because practice is a mind game to enhance your learning of a certain objective . In the article using many references with sports to in the book study or practice. Everything that you want to perform better in you need practice. It matters how hard you practice because you can practice for 10 years just as hard as somebody who practiced for 15 years and still be as good .It also matters on the amount of time you practice that can make you better than you once were ,all with experience. I agree with the purpose of the article to practice to maintain and achieve .
