Into The Zone

What does it mean to be in the “zone”?

I think being in the zone means to be in a mental state of complete focus and concentration, that enables you to perform physical tasks to the best of you're ability despite any sort of fatigue.

When have you been in the “zone”?

I guess I've been in the zone a few times during both cross country and track meets, I just got to the point where I felt as though I was able to run faster and all the fatigue that I had been feeling just seemed to pass. I think I've been in the zone a few other times when playing sports recreationally but it's hard to remember specific times.

What exactly enabled you to get into the “zone”? Please be specific.

I'm not really sure, usually before I compete I listen to music and sometimes while I'm in the middle of competing I get this sort of beat in my head that get's me into this sort of physical rhythm and I just start to relax and focus on what I'm doing and block out everything else.

How could learning about methods or tactics for getting into the “zone” help you with your Research Sound project?

I don't know maybe I could study the songs I used to listen to to prepare myself for competitions and see if I could put together some sort of compilation that has a similar feeling or effect that the songs had.
