In everyday life you can set it up by finding tasks that push you just a bit beyond what you’re comfortable with, but not so far that you’re overwhelmed. Break things into clear goals, cut out distractions, and give yourself a short, focused burst of work—like a sprint—then let yourself rest. Over time you’ll notice that the same rhythm that makes you feel alive on the court can be cultivated in writing, cooking, even fixing a leaky faucet. It’s not magic, it’s practice and attention to the moment. Try it on your next routine task and see if the ball starts feeling like a friend.

That’s the spirit—give the kitchen the same focus you give the court, and you’ll find the rhythm you’re after. Just remember to pause after each sprint, taste the work, then start again. The more you practice treating tasks like that, the easier it gets to slip into that flow, even when you’re not on a sports field. Keep spinning that ball, and you’ll notice the momentum carry over to everything else you do.
