One of my lasting memories of the Olympics is of a behind the scenes tour of the main stadium.  This programme included sight of the 100m track, under the tiers of seating, for a professional level warm up seconds before the race.

10 years ago I saw a behind the scenes documentary of a gig I had first watched with the festival crowd: the Red Hot Chilli Peppers.  They were hip and a bit grungy live, but the film showed they had practiced intently in a well-equipped rehearsal room minutes before bounding on stage.

As you head in to 2013, what new idea or tool do you need to practice? What talk or presentation do you need to rehearse? What paper do you need to refine? What skill do you need to take time to develop?
