George Graham had a program for up and coming players, guys that had the chops but needed to know how to make that jump to the first string. Part of it was learning how to focus with no distractions, no conversations going in the mind while working. Playing in the zone all the time. I'd guess that's how first call guys go about their business.

Thanks for your posts Tony!
All the best.
