Focus can make the difference between winning and losing. Many people in sports call it being in the zone. This is especially evident when they are in events like the Olympics or the final moments of a critical game.
In sports you often see the defensive players and the fans try to break the focus of players on the offensive team. At critical moments like plays in the final two minutes of a football game or opportunity for the winning foul shot in basketball, the fans and the defense team will scream as loud as possible and make lots of distracting motions. The key to success there is maintaining focus. The same is true in business.
