A player's effectiveness is directly related to his ability to be right there, doing that thing, in the moment.  All the preparation he may have put into the game—all the game plans, analysis of movies, etc.—is no good if he can't put it into action when game time comes.  He can't be worrying about the past or the future or the crowd or some other extraneous event.  He must be able to respond in the here and now.

— John Brodie

— Miyamoto Musashi
