Entering the Zone

In an athlete's/performers training we can say there are two stages = conscious and unconscious.

Neither can operate the other. The conscious aspect is familiar to all of us because we can read about it, talk about it, think about it and to some It is the only reality Then there is the unconscious ... the lesser known spontaneous aspect.

This is a state that can be recalled only after you've made the play or the performance. And when you talk about being unconscious, you don't know how you made the play ... it was just instinct. You entered the Zone.
