13 eye on the ball
To keep one's eye on the ball («держать свой глаз на мяче») — это ещё одно выражение из области спорта, которое перекочевало в разговорный английский язык. Во всех играх с мячом (регби, гольф, крикет, футбол и т. п.) очень важно пристально следить за мячом, чтобы выиграть. Подобно этому, если ты уделяешь много внимания чему-либо в любой сфере, ты, вероятнее всего, достигнешь успеха.Throughout the delicate negotiations with the Japanese she kept her eye on the ball. As a result the contract was signed within a fortnight. — На протяжении этих трудных переговоров с японцами она отдавала всё своё внимание данной проблеме. В результате контракт был подписан в течение двух недель.
