drill and practice

Yes, Joyce. Ask any coach of any sport and I think they will back you up. The winning teams are those that drill repeatedly and comply with direction of the coach. He's the one who is supposed to be exhibiting creativity.

Once you make the necessary actions "second-nature," you can then employ the brain in higher order thinking skills and creative activity.

Come to think of it, isn't a skill an action that has been practiced to the point of making it second nature?
