My dad was a huge sports fan, and I am married to a sports fanatic. I have been lucky enough to see all-time great players in person in hockey, basketball, football, tennis, and golf, and last year, got to see Messi. All of the greats I have seen have a calmness about them that I think must only come from confidence in their own ability. Your description of how Messi sees/adjusts/acts makes so much sense. It's almost as if time slows down for the great players.
