Few battle plans survive first contact. Amateur fighters try to prepare by planning it, then are shocked when something unaccounted for happens. Professional fighters train to make things instinct and reflex, then get their head into the vision of victory. Instinct takes over.

Good that you come up with the fighters theme. I had an article recently dedicated to Martial Arts whereby I said that virtually all fights are decided in the subconscious. Connection to one's inner Light and Oneness is what connects us with infinite creativity. Fear is decisive factor ;)
