I have seen Sachin Tendulkar playing that shot off his foot quite often. Its pure elegance and a trademark shot!!! I have also seen Roger Federer playing the effortless backhand winner. Its a shot which would make every opponent run for his money!!!
That triggered me thinking what makes these champs to play so effortlessly. Is it training or inborn talent? Well its a mix and match of both the things. However, the upper hand is of their brain structure. They are trained so heavily and regularly that they can watch the change just by looking into opponents eyes. Its this training that surges them to the elite class!!
Training your mind and brain is a hard thing. Its like drawing a line on the rock on the beach. If you draw a line with a chalk on the rock the enxt wave would wipe it off and it would be GONE!! As if it was never there. However, if you redraw it again and again it would be part of the rock's existence. Isnt that a good thing? Well not always. It can be bad as well. Remember the habit you developed in childhood when your Mom used to shout for dehabiting yourself. Its very important to understand what is good and bad for you. Everything has a plus and a negative sign attached to it. You should be able to judge it properly as a very thin line divides it. Understanding what the division line is made up of and what impacts it beholds is one of the most important lessons in life.
So redraw lines which you want in your life and practise refrain from practising the bad ones. Life is what we make out of it. Its a journey which follows the path we lay. So be selective and careful what you select as it will affect your future. Beware of the pitfalls and walk on...
