You stick to the core of the plan, but you let instinct fill in the gaps. I keep my eye on the game‑plan: where I want to be, how to get there, what angles to attack. When a defender throws a wild counter, I don’t overthink— I react instinctively, then return to the plan. It’s a loop: plan, instinct, plan, instinct. That’s how you stay disciplined yet fluid in the heat of a fight.
