I'm struck that mastery of the basics is almost all one needs to become an expert. The other thing you need: doing it (racking up hours/experience). I noticed this in skiing... I've only got a couple skills. But, I can apply them in different ways at different times depending on what the terrain and snow conditions require and what I'm trying to accomplish. Knowing how to apply them and being able to apply these skills consistently is what makes it possible to be an expert skier. I think the same is true with Basketball or cooking or supervising people. In what are you an expert?
