Do you always play the same every time you step on the court?
Why not?
There seems to be a range that we all have and one day we can play at the top of that range, while on the others at the bottom.
Why is that?
My experience suggests that the overwhelmingly single most important factor that determines our performance on any given day is whom we choose to give power to. The ego or the “Being’.
If the ego is in control, sometimes we will feel confident and all powerful while at other times we will feel doubt and ‘out of sorts’.
If, however, we can allow the ‘Being’ to play, we will then play to our athletic potential. What is the ‘Being’? The ‘Being’ is that part of us that takes over when the conscious mind and its constant desire for control is silent. It can be called instinct and intuition.
This fluctuation that we all experience is directly related to whom we choose to honor within ourselves. When we can trust our instincts, we will play the way our athletic skills allow us to and when the ego is in charge and we try and control everything our game will suffer accordingly.
Our desire for logic and control makes it extremely difficult for us to trust our instincts and intuition, but this is the challenge.
Experiment and explore!
Enjoy the journey…………………
