exist situations where trying to be conscious is not the right choice?

[LoveandPurpose]

I asked myself if being conscious/completly present could be a main goal in every situation.

Or is it sometimes hindering oneself? 

An example: When being conscious while playing football I noticed that I feel the exhaustion more intensely and I lose motivation to push myself and win the game. Thinking and creating a purpose helped in that situation.

@LoveandPurpose Maybe just play football. ?
