Great goal. Keep in mind you need "world class" coaching in order to become an expert within that 10,000 hour mark. In his study of achievers that sparked this "10,000 hour talk," Ericsson noted that familial support and world class coaching were two extremely important factors in becoming an expert. Make sure that your practice entails all the qualities of "deliberate practice" as noted in the literature.
