Sports that were traditionally played in various countries became, by legislative act or general acceptance, national sports—baseball in the United States, bullfighting in Spain and Mexico, cricket in England, and ice hockey (see hockey, ice) in Canada.

Hence, the individual should be engaged in the sport and must already be motivated to improve performance before engaging in deliberate practice.
