Moreover, I have observed that these type of drills are also used by today's NHL team coaches as a part of their goalie training, and I therefore find it little bit difficult to think that they are "out-dated" drills.

In addition, by studying those who have excelled, Professor Ericsson has found that they engage in something he calls "deliberate practice." It involves spending hours a day in highly structured activities to improve performance and overcome weaknesses.
The practice is not necessarily enjoyable and requires someone willing to put in the grueling hours over at least 10 years. From his observations, it takes a minimum of a decade of deliberate practice to excel in any field.
But he is not talking about practicing every day, all day. Four hours a day is usually the maximum that anyone can do to really get the most out of the effort, he said. After that, exhaustion sets in.
"Most people wouldn't be able to engage in deliberate practice for even a few weeks," Professor Ericsson said. And that's one of the biggest reasons why more of us don't get to - or even near - the top levels in a given field.
