When you first start learning to drive car, you are so nervous. You have to pay attention to 10+ things such as accelerator, brake, clutch, head lights, rain wipers, rear view mirror, side mirrors, radio, road signs, speed limits, people on the road, cops, other drivers, dashboard, speed, gas, etc. You can not focus on all these things at once.
Same thing applies to any new skill or venture. You will be like deer in the headlights in the beginning. There are so many variables.
However, just like car driving, with practice you will master all the tasks. They become subconscious. At expert level you dont even think or do anything consciously. Body just performs the action without your notice.
This is true with athletes. They practice so much that the muscle memory helps you play the moves subconsciously. At that level, you are able to focus on strategy or higher level tasks rather than tactical / lower level actions.
