I like the expression situational awareness because it accurately and concisely describes the state of mind needed best minimize risk. If we think of a sport analogy such as a situation that lends itself to a double play in baseball, or a hit and run or a stolen base, then the athlete is prepared to respond, not specifically to what is in front of him or her, but to what may happen. The athlete is responding or prepared to respond to something in the immediate future. In my opinion this is exactly the state of mind for maximum safety.
