Comparing "how much of an expert" you can become after a full year of good training in different activities would be a great experiment.
Anyone dares to create a ranking with some? (Say tennis, chess, web development, ice hockey, ...)

#7Related is The Dan Plan in which a chap is trying to become a pro golfer by dedicating 10,000 hours to it (from zero experience) [1]. I seem to recall it was after Malcolm Gladwell claimed that it takes that long to achieve mastery in a discipline. Dan's almost at the 5 year mark now. I check back a couple of times a year to see how he's getting on.

It will be interesting to see how well Gladwell's claim stands up to empirical testing.
