What does the word training mean; to bring a person to a high degree of proficiency in a specific skill.

I am sure that you participate in some kind of physical activity, if you do not then you should. For those who like to jog you probably keep a note of the time it takes to run a certain distance. Those of you who like to spend time in the gym will check to see if you are getting stronger by lifting heavier weights. In both cases you are trying to get better at what you are doing.

What has this got to do with focus and concentration you may ask? Well apart from the fact that you must focus and concentrate while training you are also developing skills to improve your performance. So why not use the same principal i.e. training to develop your focus and concentration, just like jogging or playing tennis they have to be practiced to be improved.

It is easier to measure physical training, today you can lift 50 kilos one month later 60, today it takes ten minutes to run a given distance one month later, nine minutes.
