Well I'll repeat again, Ki Ken Tai no Ichi.

Kikentaiichi is a term used to describe what the kendoka needs for a perfect strike usually with tenouchi as a compliment.

However in a broader sense, the devotion part which you speak of is not just at the hit (ie single point in time). It is not in one tournament, one shiai, or even one practice. It is not even counting how many practices you attend a year. It is a commitment that you make to keep practicing through the good and through the bad all in the while believing that something good will come out of it. IMHO, believing in that and trying to improve yourself a little each day is the strategy that should help you become better in general.
