improvisation

I believe Ichiro is one of the best baseball players in the world. His skill, technique, motivation and attitude towards baseball are just incredible. He may practice for all situations as much as he can consider in games, until he can play “his best” under such situations naturally and unconsciously. I just mentioned “his best”, but I am afraid he does not think he can play his best. I mean I feel he always seeks to reach his ideal his best, and he may know that it’s almost impossible to reach such his best. That’s why, he may always make his best at the very moment.

If I am correct, Tommy Lee Jones said in an interview, I think inside the Actors Studio , that he didn’t like improvisation. He is keen to stick scripts, and always does rehearsals as much as possible. To be honest, I could not understand why he didn’t like improvisation. I doubted as he did not have improvisation skill, he might say so. I just imagined improvisation would require plenty of talents.

I now assume what you would like to say was there are tons of stuff you have to do before improvisation. Any improvisations without expressing worlds of scripts perfectly may be valueless. I have to just ask myself, do I really show my best before improvisation? Don’t I use improvisation as excuse to escape from making my best efforts?
