I played soccer against a fellow who went on to play all four years for Duke. I was never that good.
He told his father (who told me) that about a 1/3 of the way through the game he would be come so committed to the game, so AWARE (my caps) that he would lose his sense of himself and see only the field as if from a 15 foot high tower. He could see all of the players, their intentions, the ball, the lines. Soccer at its best is a combination of ballet and chess and players who win are able to see three, four and five moves ahead.
This might seem esoteric, but in chess, in Soccer and in life, commit to the action and lose the ego.
Just my offering.
