Sports requires good mental focus because they are about playing the game. If you don’t play, you won’t care if you don’t win. If you don’t play the game, you won’t care about having a good time or winning.
The same goes with any other activity. If you arent physically active, you dont care of anything. If you arent active, you have no time to plan, to make a plan. You just happen to jump on the bus when it pulls up and sit there until the bus has already left. You dont think very well when the bus stops. Even if you are told to run or do something, you dont have time to do it.
While most of us are familiar with the idea of losing our ability to focus, it’s actually a very common problem. When we’re in the midst of some activity or a period of activity, it can be difficult to remember how to keep a steady pace. Whether it’s running in a race, playing a game, or participating in a sports event, we can become so distracted by our surroundings that we’re not paying attention to how our body is moving.
This is a difficult thing to overcome, even if you are told to keep your eyes on the prize. The problem is that our brains are not great at doing this. We are so used to seeing that the only way to get our attention is to see what we want to see.
If we are getting distracted, it means we are not focusing on the task at hand. The most critical part of the brain, the prefrontal cortex, is responsible for decision making. It’s the part of our brain that deals with our emotions. When we get distracted, this part of the brain is not able to figure out what to do. This is why it is so important to remind ourselves of our priorities.
I’m sure that if you had to describe all your mental activities, it would be a complex mess. However, I can tell you that it involves a lot of thinking. So, for example, when I think about the next game I am playing, I do not immediately go into a full-blown “I am going to a game” mindset.
Think of it this way, you are driving your car, so you need to know where to go. But you don’t. You are just driving. So you need to learn how to pick up the car again and figure out where you are going. You may, however, do that by yourself.
In real life, when we are trying to figure out what to do, we tend to do it with a mental attitude that is like, “I can do this.” But, in sports, this is not usually the case. When I am driving, I am like, “Yeah, maybe I can do this. But I have no idea where I am.” So I try to figure it out myself.
But in real life we may need to figure out where we go, but we don’t always have to figure it out by ourselves. We need to figure it out by consulting the GPS. We need to ask the car to help us. We need to try to find the road signs. We need to ask your cell phone or any other communication device for help. We need to ask the person next to you with the car for help if you need to know where you are going.
It sounds as if you’re saying that you need to figure out where you are by consulting the GPS. Well, the GPS is one of the most important things we use every day. GPS uses GPS satellites to keep track of the position of the device you’re using and tell you where you are. In other words, GPS is the communication device everyone uses. If you ask the GPS to help you, you’re asking it for help. You’re asking it for direction.
