Replying to Does Focusing on Something Enhance skiing abilities?

Yesterday i was at my local mountain (it's really a hill) and i was trying to do a front side switch up to blind side 270 out (k-fed) on a 15 ft. rail. I was beginning to get very frustrated, about to leave the rail, when an older friend of mine showed up. We talked for a little and I explained what i was trying to do. He then procceded to tell me that if i focus on a stick of butter i'll be able to land it. I did this and got the k-fed immediately . I was just wondering if focusing on a specific object or listening to your favorite music seems like it helps your abilities?
