Most athletes are aware that an important
component to becoming a good player is the ability for your body
to perform. You must know how to play and must have the
physical skills needed to play against those challenging you.
However, one must realize and fully understand that there are 2 other
components that an athlete must unleash to truly become a great player. These other components work together with the body and can produce a
truly legendary player. These 2 components are the mind and
the heart.
When the mind, the heart and
the body are truly in accordance with each other, then one is
said to be playing in the zone. The zone is unconditional, athletic
performance and it is difficult to reach. And
in most cases is extremely difficult to sustain on a consistent basis.
However, you can accomplish this if you are willing and if you are
accurately informed of the process. Once you are able to do this,
your game will rise to a performance level that most athletes will never
reach.
Zone play comes from a philosophy called
Wei-Wu-Wei (pronounced "way-woo-way"). This is a unique,
mental concept that means "action-non-action" or "doing-without-doing".
This is a philosophy that people have practiced in ancient Chinese cultures
for thousands and thousand of years, and that millions of people still practice today.
It is a philosophy and a technique that stresses to allow activities to
occur naturally and seamlessly without struggle and without disruptive
thoughts. In essence, it means to flow effortlessly.
Wei-Wu-Wei teaches you to harness the energy of the mind, heart and
body in such a way that will enable you to perform at a level that
relies on the unconscious.
Zone play is crucial if you desire to play
the best you can play. At TMT Sports, we realize this and now
offer a complete Wei-Wu-Wei tutorial with Air Alert®. The
Air Alert® DVD and the
Air Alert® training manual contain sections that
provide complete instructions and examples on how to harness mental and
motivational powers to elevate your game to the best it can possibly be.
What was once a program that was completely sold separately is now a
part of Air Alert®.

The
mind is your intellectual control center. It is the catalyst
for your success. This area promotes health, well-being,
emotional stability and athletic accomplishment. The mind is
the fundamental property that you must develop to assure that
you reach the ability to play in the zone. This is
unquestionable. Failure to do so will simply
limit your ability to become a great player. The mind is like
the body; it needs training and its power must never be
underestimated.
The
heart is your emotional center. This is where your desire,
your passion and your motivation to play and to succeed exist.
It is an emotional and powerful area that steers desires.
The heart is your fire. Failure to learn to develop this
fundamental area will keep you from athletic success. Having
heart and unleashing it unconsciously will elevate you to a
level of athletic performance that few athletes reach.
The
body is your physical center. It is the physical
expression of who you are. In order to assure athletic
success, you must prepare and train your body for competition.
The mind and heart working together are powerful; however, if
you do not adequately prepare your body, you will never truly
enter the zone, a level of unconditional, athletic perfection.
Air Alert will help to prepare your body.
