Unexpectedly made to look really cool
My mind draws a blank for my best examples of this but this one should give you an idea of what I mean.

5-6 years old, playing soccer, I believe I was forced to play it though I don't remember for sure, in any case like all sports I was terrible at it and took little to no joy in it. One day however I decided to break from tradition and take pride in it and really concentrate hard so I could really play properly for once.

I remembered what coach told me, his sage words memorized eternally "Keep your eyes on the ball whatever you do keep your eyes on the ball don't let it out of your sight". I tried hard to memorize the advice so I could use it as a mantra during the game, in fact I was doing a very good job of focusing all mental capacity onto chanting this over and over. That was until my thought process was rudely interrupted by a large spherical object striking the front of my skull at incredible speed. My immediate response was confusion, I was totally stunned, I believe I may well have been out cold for a fraction of a second there however I managed to remain standing staring straight at the goals. Then I hear this cheering, apparantly I've just headed an incredible goal with pinpoint accuracy and am a hero amongst the team. I think my steadfast still pose that the shock had caused me to strike up further added to the illusion that this was deliberate as well. It hurt like a bitch but I certainly made sure not to ruin it by mentioning that it had been an accident.
