This resonated a lot with me as a golfer. Golf is a very individual-focused activity, with a large amount of minutiae to consider. Each shot is a new opportunity, and no two shots are ever alike. Mechanics are massively important, but focusing on them in the moment is often disastrous. It's more important to observe, in a meditative way, the body's motion after the mental decision and assess, learn, and grow in preparation for the next shot. In (slight) contrast to your ending quote, I offer Bruce Lee (un-verified, but interesting nonetheless): ":I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times."
