When I wrote In The
Zone: Making Winning Moments Your Way of Life, I wanted to evolve my
previous books into the world of SPORT PSYCHOLOGY. But it wasn’t just about sports. Consider the following, from the first
paragraph:
What Zone?
“If you are at all
involved in sports, you may know what I mean right away. The zone is not a literal place. It’s not the
end zone on a football field. It’s
inside you, a feeling, a state of mind and body, a level of performance when
everything clicks. You are effortlessly
at your best.”
Later in the book I wrote:
“No matter how vague
their idea of being in the zone is, most of the people I meet and talk with
understand two things about it. First,
it occurs when we are totally involved, mentally and physically, in some
activity we do well and enjoy. And
second, it doesn’t happen to most of us very often, and even when it does, it’s
unpredictable.
Eventually I came to
the conclusion that common knowledge was accurate on the first point and
inaccurate on the second. The feeling of
being in the zone occurs indeed when we are fully involved in what we are
doing. But it need not be something that
occurs by chance. In fact, there’s a
great deal we can do to make it happen.
After years of
refining a comprehensive approach to correct body movement, I have concluded
there are four crucial elements underlying high level performances In The Zone:
relaxation, balance, flexibility and focus.”
AND THAT IS WHAT THIS BLOG IS ULTIMATELY ABOUT.
