This is where being ignorant will not serve you. Imagine if Steph Curry stayed ignorant to basketball? Or Conor McGregor refused to learn every single aspect of MMA? (Do you think Conor is a good example here? Tell us your thoughts in the comments)When developing a skill there are 4 stages. Unconscious incompetence, conscious incompetence, conscious competence and unconscious competence.
