Only about....can you
Hello.
-They say that no matter in what you want so succeed and excel, only about after ten years of practice or roughly 10,000 hours doing the activity can you become one of the best in the world in it.... here "can you" is ok = inversion
But I wonder whether the sentence could be as follows:
-They say that no matter in what you want so succeed and excel, only about after ten years of practice or roughly 10,000 hours doing the activity you can become one of the best in the world in it.
Would "you can" instead of "can you" be correct as well? Thanks

"you can" does not work; it must be "can you".
