Great points guys.

I'll give you the devils advocate point of view just for the sake of the agruement. For those of you that have read Pleasures of Small Motions this will be thoughts of mine formulated from that book.

Stress, pressure, tension should all be recognized and registered as real feeling and emotions not to be ignored. Rather than put it all on the backburner simply idetify what your feeling. You can't trick your body and your mind and your memory of what to do by ignoring your surroundings and sub-conciously trying to put yourself in another place.

Give your sub-concious a chance to accept and digest the pressure shot. Once you identify what your bodies feeling you can begin to accept the emotion internally and allow it to work with your body so it becomes a productive and registered emotion within your sub-conscious memory.

To simply pretend your somewhere else or not playing someone would potentially crossfire what your eyes are really seeing thus taking you out of your element and real time surrounds and diminishing your play because you simply aren't feeling your same ole self. Just add these emotions and feeling to part of your game. So they can function propery together.

I could go on and expand but thats the basics of it.
