My theory on it is that a player or even a team is able to experience an emotional and physical balance of the highest form at the same time When they do that, they're able to react to every situation with the best case scenario. (i.e. draining 3-pointers, NFL defenses and offenses appearing unstoppable, baseball offenses chaining hits, etc)

Most people would call this momentum, and while it can certainly be called the same thing, I call it the "zone", and when you're in that "zone", the only thing that can really knock you out of it is an emotional change, whether it's forced by something happening to you or the other team forcing it.

Anyway, just wondering what your thoughts are on this or if I'm totally smoking the aids tree.
I think being in the zone is more a matter of getting your head as out of the way as possible and letting muscle memory take over.

That's what all athletic endeavors really come down to... muscle memory.
