Physical Reactions to Adrenalin These are some natural bodily reactions to adrenalin: Pre-fight Shakes Your legs, and possibly other limbs, may shake uncontrollably. Dry Mouth Your mouth may become dry and pasty. Voice Quiver Your voice may acquire a nervous and audible tremor. Tunnel Vision On the positive side, tunnel vision enhances visual concentration.

Fear - The Friend of Exceptional People

no one—in the game today works harder or invests more in his body and surrounds himself with the right people to keep it in peak condition. But it’s still not easy, and Kobe makes that decision, every day, to do the work. Again: the most talented guy working harder than anyone else. It’s a choice. Each of Kobe’s workouts takes around ninety minutes, and a half hour of that is spent just working on his wrists, fingers, ankles . . . all the details. That’s how the best get better—they sweat the details. And every workout, at some point he’ll glare at me and ask, What we got left? Because let’s face it, the work is hard and tedious, and sometimes that hoop looks as if it’s a thousand feet in the air and you’re trying to reach it wearing lead boots. But he does the work because if he can’t put that ball in the hoop, everything else goes away.
No one ever worked harder at golf than Nicklaus during his teens and early twenties. At the age of ten, in his first year of golf, Jack must have averaged three hundred practice shots and at least eighteen holes of play daily. In later years, he would often hit double that number of practice shots and play thirty-six—even fifty-four—holes of golf a day during the summer. I have seen him practice for hours in rain, violent winds, snow, intense heat—nothing would keep him away from golf.
