There’s a quiet trap in competitive sport: chasing the result so hard you forget why you started. What’s the game underneath all of it? The one where you show up fully, stay present with the process, and let the work itself be enough. Presence isn’t a mental skill you turn on for competition. It’s a practice. Every rep, every breath, every point is a chance to come back to why you’re really here. Play for the love of it. Everything else is noise.
