Effect of grit on academic achievement

""However, a new study from the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN) at King's College London, suggests that 'grit', defined as perseverance and passion for long-term goals, adds little to the prediction of school achievement."

My main goal was to get the highest grades I could get in high school because I was always worried about my future.

There's the supposed 10,000 hours that it takes to become a virtuoso or to have outstanding technical ability in a particular field, which is often tooted as beginning with the fixed and determined setting of a definite goal back in childhood. Maybe the study doesn't necessarily undermine that belief so much as reveal that such alone can be derailed by a horde of other factors intruding later (psychological, external / environmental, and physiological [adolescent developments especially]).
