One Way

SINGLE-MINDED WAY   "Even if the sun were to rise from the west, the Bodhisvatta has only one way. - Shunryu Suzuki, Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind

How you play is how you live. Your attitude and your attention to detail inform your success.

"Whatever you do, it should be an expression of the same deep activity." Think about the transformation of practice into execution. Repetition is that transformation.

Focus on the process. "In the midst of noise and change, your mind will be quiet and stable." 

Be here now. Concentrate on this play, this serve, this pass. Simplify. Clarify. 

Clear the extras...worry, anticipation, distraction, hubris. 

"You do not need to feel great to play great. You can feel all kinds of ways and still play great. Some games you will feel overly excited and energized, and your challenge will be to relax and be cool. Some games you will feel fatigued and fearful, and your challenge will be to act aggressive. Some games you will feel amazing, and your challenge will be to attack relentlessly and have no mercy on the competition." - Graham Betchart, in Play Present

Regardless of the situation, focus on bringing your best, right now. One way.
