Okay, so basically physicality means being really, really physical. So if you\u2019re playing a sport, running, throwing, tackling, whatever, you are indeed being physical, but if you\u2019re going\u00a0really, really hard, then you\u2019re doing whatever it is\u00a0with physicality.<\/p>\n

So take a professional sports team. It\u2019s their JOB to play with physicality. That\u2019s all they do. Yet, they cruise through the first half, or the first period, or whatever time compartmentalization that particular sport has, and they just\u2026play. Just phone it in. Go through the motions. Then, when, \u00a0SURPRISE,\u00a0team A\u00a0discovers they aren\u2019t beating the\u00a0team B, they start playing with physicality, and win the game.
