Sometimes in sports, everything goes one's way. Winning hits, terrific runs, amazing goal scores, terrific shots or streaks and more. I haven't been in the zone much, but when it happens, it's great. The baseball and tennis ball looks like a watermelon and is going in slow motion. The basketball hoop or soccer goal looks 3 times bigger. In football, the gaps on the defense look bigger than a Macke truck and players are in slow motion.
A few years ago, I was subbing in a tennis group despite not playing much. I happen to be in the zone and helped my partner win the championship that night by getting and making shots beyond my normal capability. Recently, my son was in the zone playing in a tennis tournament. He won his matches 6-0, 6-0 and 6-2 for the championship. He didn't seem to be able to do anything wrong and easily won points.
Being in the zone is great. I hope my son experiences the feeling many more times in sports and in life.
