A short YouTube clip (Shayamal Vallabhjee) arguing that physical fatigue impairs the cognitive faculty of flow; therefore the first step to achieving flow is intense physical practice so the body is conditioned and not fatigued during performance.

If you bleed in practice, you'll sweat in competition. You see, when the body is fatigued, vishen, what happens is the first faculty that's compromised is cognitive, and flow state is a cognitive faculty. It's the speed at which your subconscious processing and your conscious processing are aligning. But if the body is fatigued, you cannot have that alignment. So the first step for flow is to push the body really hard in practice.
