Extensive practice is necessary for high-level performance in communication, similar to athletes and comedians.

“You know, athletes do lots of drills so when they're in the game, they can play it well. We need to do the same thing. It it amazes me when I work with with senior leaders of companies and they'll say, "Oh, I practice the presentation once or twice and I'm ready to go." And I think, think about a stand-up comedian how many times they practice their routine over and over again.”
