Mind and Body

At what point in existence do the mind and body finally get totally in sync? When will I be able to watch a basketball game on television without thinking that I can still hoop it up? I mean not at an NBA or major college level or any such fantastical illusions as that, but at my level that I used to play at? Or just a notch below maybe? Because the thoughts do start going through my head. And the reality is that I'm never going to know those days again but seeing others running, jumping, pivoting ..... It gets my blood and mind all worked into a frenzy and anxious to air up my basketball and head to the gym. The mind just refuses to accept that the changes your body goes through as you pass 30, 40, 50 and beyond, affects performance. But then you experience those moments when you're forced to move a little faster, like the sudden realization of an significant error in judgement when attempting to cross a downtown street with oncoming traffic oncoming, and your life begins to flash by and your mind says: "Move it!!" But your knees, ankles, toes, thighs, etc., refuse the directive and the dire need to work together. And while you somehow managed to get out of harms way, you know that you took on the appearance of a bumbling, stumbling clown in doing so.
