[QUOTE="OmegaDef, post: 297702, member: 4082"] For me, I train like it's a sport. I always enjoy playing, but there will be times that after hours and hours I'm ready to take a break. Pushing through that gives you the conditioning you'll need for the times you can't stop. So far I've never needed to compete for longer than some of my training sessions last. Being able to do what you see in your mind needs to become second nature. Being able to hit with precision, nudge perfectly, juggle, or even death save is no different than being able to land a kick flip or hit a free throw the majority of the time. If you've done it 10,000 times prior, then it should happen without even thinking about it. Conditioning, practice, psychology, coordination, breathing, maintaining nerves in high pressure situations? It's a sport to me, but I don't care what label the world wants to give it. It's an activity unique unto itself anyway. Instead of feeling left out of the sports umbrella, other sports should be jealous they don't get to be called pinball. [/QUOTE]
