The zone is basically a heightened state of awareness, where concentration is total and is uninhibited by internal or external distraction. In the zone, a feeling of time distortion can occur in the mind, slowing down reality enough to anticipate what’s coming next, helping you to plan your moves ahead of time. The boxer will see gaps in his opponents defences where he can get through, and the goalkeeper can jump in the right direction as the player is striking the ball. When the mind has grown accoustomed to being in the zone, it will then seek and manifest the same experience everytime you play your game, providing you want, believe and expect it to happen.
