I think that's the whole point . . . they weren't practicing at all. Learning to do anything well takes time and effort. The sort of young people you describe have no interest in setting a goal and then working hard to achieve it. Possibly they don't even have the capacity to do so. For some folks, life is all about "instant gratification". Sad.
