I'm unsubscribing because I know youre not going to mention her brother being the reason she didn't perform.....her brother was involved with some big time drug Lords and he screwed them over and they want their stuff back and they made legit threats towards her and the rest of the fam
Happened to me a while ago so I did some research and found out there's a thing called 'Lost Move Syndrome', which is "a psychological condition in which athletes find themselves unable to perform a skill that was previously automatic". I've been doing flips on a trampoline for pretty much all my life, one time I wanted to do a triple full (which was no effort usually) and my body somehow went for a double flip mid twisting. Scared the shit out of me. After that I couldn't triple anymore, took a little break and later that day I even forgot how to do a simple backflip... Took months to even get a single full again and start building from there. It finally took me more than a year to get back to my previous level. This also happened a second time which thankfully only took me 3 weeks to recover from. For me it definitely was a lack of confidence and overthinking everything, which made me try to do the flips 'manually' instead of on 'auto pilot' and that doesn't work.
Been doing parkour since 2012 and in 2017, I've seen myself slowly "decaying" as I was losing all my flips, the first was the backflip (which I used to do everyday, on every ground), then sideflip. It's been 5 years that I can't do a single flip on hard ground, and it hurts (I mean for the self-esteem as all my friends keep progressing) so much I had to stop. But your story has motivated me to get back to it. Thanks !
this happened to me after i landed on my neck doing a double twist. took me a year to get it back. when trying to perform it again (while the ability is still missing) it was just a blank sheet in my mind, i couldnt figure out how twisting worked in my head.
Ive done gtramp for 5 years and I know exactly what its like. The feeling when you lose all sense of awareness in the middle of a flip, nothing beats that fear. I went from doing quads to barely doing doubles nowadays.
I had a similar experience when I was younger. Im a gymnast and one time when I was learning a front tuck with a half out I messed up and it ruined all of my front tumbling completely. I couldnt even do a regular front tuck, I'd either pull out and couldn't make myself do it or I automatically accidentally did a scary and poor tucked half twist. Eventually after like 6 months I got my front tuck back by building all the way back up from a forwards roll. It took ages to build the confidence back but now my front tumbling is far more comfortable than backwards
You've essentially renamed the phenomenon of "choking", also often described as "thinking too much". However, it's a bit more complicated than simply "thinking too much". What accompanies racing thoughts and too much thinking is fear, anxiety, and the threat of shame. Thinking alot is not inherently bad, but it tends to happen when athletes or performers begin to question their abilities and their self-worth. Losing their craft would essentially result in a loss of self-worth AKA shame, because their sport or ability is the primary foundation upon which they've built their lives. Their minds then anxiously monitor and anticipate movements that were once "free-flowing", "natural", and "second-nature", and movements suddenly becomes "rigid", "awkward", and "segmented". They could be the most skilled of athletes or virtuosos, but if their lives' are built on the shaky, unstable, and waning foundations of ephemeral talents and constantly straining toward the highest of standards---their uncertainty and volatility will show in their movements.
It isn’t choking, it’s mental. A good example is Chuck Knoblach or however you spell it. Chuck was a perennial all-star on his way to the HOF. He was a second baseman and couldn’t throw to first base, the easiest throw you can make at his position. The more you think of accuracy, the worse your throws.
This is very relatable as a classical trumpet player. during solo performances the mental anxiety is absolutely crippling, but you get past it using centering techniques (visual habits, postural habits, a consciously directed ritual) which bring your attention back to the direction of the music and away from meta reflections on how the performance is going.
I experience this when drawing and it always happens when i'm perfecting the sketch lines or more so inking them. I tell myself how important this next stroke is and not to mess it up... then I make the stroke and mess it up. Stay loosey goosey
This is such an interesting phenomenon... And I'm sure it's something everyone can relate to in some way. We all have a moment of second guessing ourselves... But the muscle spasms while writing is something that happens to me and I never gave it much thought other than putting it down to not writing by hand much anymore. It's like I forgot how to write for a few seconds... Great work Jimmy! You're smashing it with these!
In the typing community, one of the most common and popular ways of measuring or practicing your skill is through tests with limits. Most people I've asked around who practice this style end up "choking" or falling just short of personal bests when they realize they're going at a record pace and the test is about to end. I experienced this myself a few days ago, when I was going at a record pace (but unaware of it) and not worrying at all about my results which ended up getting me a new personal best. A few minutes after, I went again but this time with a clock timing me down and a speed indicator, and I was FAR more nervous than the previous attempt, even though it was about the same speed and it had the same importance. Examples of this are everywhere such as in videogames like Osu! and others. This problem is EVERYWHERE.
Fact about Steve Blass' yips, it's heavily implied even by Steve himself that his yips were caused by the tragic death of Roberto Clemente who passed on December 31st of 1972. Clemente passed attempting to send aid to hurricane victims in Nicaragua.
I had the Yips in skateboarding.. A trick I had done 100,000 times flawlessly. As it was a easy required trick called a "Rock to fakie". People constantly told me mine where so clean.. then I lost them... I could not do that single trick anymore... everything else was fine. Was so strange... I forced myself to relearn it in baby steps but man that was annoying... Cool to know it has a name.
The yips happen when you've done everything you need to do, when you are where you need to be, the next step is simple and you've done it a thousand times before. Only this time everybody's eyes are focused on you and you alone, your mind goes blank and you have no muscle memory. Commonly referred to as a fear of winning. It normally only happens on the biggest of stages.
WHAT?! this is a thing? I had been playing soccer since 5 years old. Select teams. Loved the sport so much! One year, I just forgot how to kick the ball with any lift. I couldn’t clear the ball! I could run and do everything else. Not bragging. Truly. But I was one of the best on that field at all times. I practiced constantly. My coach had me separated from the rest of the team, with the assistant coach(!) just kicking the ball against a wall for 2 hours a day! I just could not kick like I had been kicking for 10 years prior! It took an entire season to rectify. I have never even heard of anything like this until this video. I played 25 years ago! Great video and Thankyou!!
I have something similar in Tennis. I played tennis a lot, my forehand was my strong move and the backhand Not so much. At one point the forehand suddenly became alien to me, I cannot move my hand in a straight line towards the ball, I cannot controll the pitch of the racket anymore. I dont know what happened but it seemed to be lost forever, my backhand is now much better but can't hit a shot with my forehand. It's such a weird feeling
In e-sports we call it the "all eyes on you panic" when suddenly incredible good players become so nervous that they forgot how to play properly which can hold on for a long period. Feel so bad for them.. while they stuggle with confidence i give a fuck and sometimes go "Ultra Instinct" and play while just lookin at the screen like in a daydream. I am not a doctor or psychologist but i in every single case i mentioned, it was a sudden drop in confidence.
this happened to me with tricking, I became so focused on trying to land double cork that everytime i did any twist i would automatically double it and slam really hard.
I think psychological yips also affects e-ports for example VGC in which you have to think about what you're opponent can and cannot do that you will have a wrong turn
For the psychological yips, I think it tends to become a feedback loop of conscious processing that interferes with performance which should ideally be an unconscious process. If you ask an athlete what they are thinking about during a bout of top tier performance in "Flo-State", they will most likely say nothing. Conscious processing is too slow and usually only useful during the learning phase of a skill.
I had this sort of issue before, I had a time when I had recently learned how to backflip, I was good at doing it and would rarely mess up. But randomly I felt like my body just wouldn't let me do a backflip, was most likely physiological but almost felt Nero logical. It took a year before I was able to do a backflip again, and when I was able to do the backflip, I nailed it first try. Kinda weird how it happened, but I was happy I found a way to over come the fear (or whatever it was), of doing the flip.
In my experience of the yips, you are so used to a specific muscle memory, that if that movement is slightly out and you'll miss, the brain cancels down the movement. Like the set up was wrong so it has a tantrum.
As a teenager I got the yips playing baseball. I was always like the best fielder on my team, then all of a sudden I couldn't read a fly ball to save my life. It wasn't like I was slightly misjudging it, I was missing by like 20 feet. I even dove for a couple that were no where close to me. Haha smh I ended up just running track instead.
It’s worth noting neuropsychology is a thing and is what this case would constitute It’s not a pure neurological or psychological in some disorders and this kind of condition is a textbook example of it Hence why mindfulness and psychological interventions still hold efficacy
This definitely happened to me before. I was getting ready to run an acceleration for track and I couldn’t figure out which arm and which leg to start with.
This happens with everything, if you do something over and over sometimes you just start doing it wrong. I think it has something to do with needing to take a break but when it happens to me I drop whatever activity/project it is because it it keeps happening once it starts.
I believe it's due to having to much mussel memory and your brain is trying to "pick" which pathway to use but there's to many pathways to pick, so your brain trys to do multiple pathways at once, causing spasms or false starts probably made wours by the pressure of the situation "overthinking" ( a complete guess btw I have no medical training)
I had this happen to me once after bowling a 287. The next game I forgot how to place my feet and slide. Explaining to everyone on my team that I couldn’t bowl after producing an amazing game gave me a lot of strange looks. I still don’t know why this happened
I was a gymnast for 16 years. I struggled with the "Twisties" too and it totally destroyed my chances of going on to higher level competition. It's sad for sports like golf and baseball, but in gymnastics, if you twist when you don't mean to, you could seriously injur yourself. I was happy to see Simone Biles blow up when this happened because this condition deserves more recognition. People used to just tell me "don't twist", like it was just that easy
Damn, what gymnasts are you around? My sisters have been in gymnastics since they could walk and continued into their mid teens. Both had twisties at one point and it was taken pretty seriously, especially for my younger sister who competed at a high level.
I was a gymnast for 14 years. One day I came in, everything normal, untill I had to do a front flip. Just a normal front flip. I just could not land on my feet no matter what. Under rotate, over rotate, on floor an a trampoline, all the same. The coach thought I was messing with him as I could land everything else normally. This went on for about 4 weeks, when one day I landed normally and it was like a skill being switched back on. After that the problem thankfully never reoccurred
@@baguette6969 It's absolutely nuts, and I think it's something a person can't truly understand unless they unfortunately go through it themselves. I would literally inadvertantly throw twists in the middle of double flipping elements. I would also just lose certain skills randomly, some of them I spent years trying to recover and never got them back. It blows my mind how you can spend years perfecting a skill, only to have it magically disappear right before your eyes.
I'm a pro guitar player and stuggle with focal dystonia. It stalled my career for years. For anyone suffering from this stuff the best explanation I've ever heard is from an expert named Ruth Chiles. I have a bandmate who got the dreaded focal dystonia and with all the info that's out there now, was able to get over it in a little under a year!
The first time I read about focal dystonia was in an article on Billy McLaughlin. He was an amazing fingerstyle guitarist and could no longer perform the pieces he wrote and played for years. After a lot of therapy an training, he switched to playing left handed. He had to start all over. Now he's even better than he use to be.
@@Greybruh rock solid my man. Keep calling our this mental fomo social media brought upon us. 'I am a professional fish wrangler and my ceo of my electric car company and my sisters mother in law all suffer from lying dystonia.'
I am by no means a psychologist but this is what it sounds like to me. When you overthink something, specifically a physical action, you're using your conscious brain to "manually" control every movement which you often can't keep up with. When you're in a flow state, a lot of work is being done by your subconscious/unconscious which I guess has a lot more processing power. It's like when you're conscious that you're breathing - you can never quite get your breathes right because you're used to it being controlled by your subconscious and you're not actually consciously that familiar with the process.
but the question is why after decades of training this happens SUDDENLY and is irreversible. people don't manage to just get out of it like normal. i sometimes get caught up with breathing or walking yea, but eventually my brain clicks back into place and i can do it fine again. this is not possible for these athletes
@@reidleblanc3140 I thought the same as Gerg, and what you point out may be bc they cannot go back to subconcious processes, I mean each time they try it again, since there's the fear of "it" coming back, selfconciousness hits and "it" happens again. I think a way to disprove this hypothesis is to know if any of these athletes went through a "non-selfconciousness" training and failed. Also, since proprioception is linked with memory, and we all know we can have memory problems, then it could also be a proprioception memory problem.
The mental 'flip' happens because the flow state is disrupted by the awareness of what's at stake. It could happen from not having enough mental strength, lack of focus in challenging situations.. and could even be from gluten intolerance - no joke, there's plenty of literature on it. It's a growing epidemic in mental health. Read 'Grain Brain' by neurologist Dr. David Perlmutter. I also think that the more modern culture of "expressing one's feelings" has reduced an individual's mental practice and ability to create an internal mental boundary between the task at hand and any strong new emotions that may arise in a particular high stress circumstance. Which has also led to a rise in ADHD and similar disorders.
I been doing parkour for almost 12 years already and like a year ago and out of sudden I totally forgot how to do a cork while I was practicing how to dub cork. It took me like 6 months to get my cork back cause I had to go through the basis once again until I had the confidence to do it. Now I know what it was thanks Jimmy!
I have a gymnast child. It made me sick to see all the hate Simone got. People just dont understand. Its not like playing golf in a bad state of mind and just embarrassing yourself.
Lewis Hamilton: I got a mental break down, i need to stop half way. Tyson Fury: I got a mental break down, i need to stop half way. Ronaldo: I got a mental break down, i need to stop half way. Serena Williams: I got a mental break down, i need to stop half way. Even the blind can see Simone is proving a point only. Total unsportsmanship.
@@marvinracer88 It’s not illegal, it’s for her adhd, that she’s been taking since she was a child. It’s just illegal in some other countries(including japan). Also, as far as I’m aware the William sisters have never been caught doping, unlike numerous Russian athletes.
It’s something that a lot of people don’t understand because it’s really hard to relate to.. I struggled with that.. for 7 years I couldn’t do a laché.. I would alway do a flyaway instead… 😳
I ride bmx and i had about a 3 week span where I couldn't remember how to backflip anymore. Literally one of the worse feelings I've ever felt literally sent me into a spiraling depression and eventually my dad helped me through it and I finally got the confidence to go out and do it again and I landed it perfect It was just a big mental block
Good on ya! I know how you feel. For me it was flipping off of stuff into water. Was at a buddies pool once, went for a backflip like I done 100 times, landed on the edge of the pool, and broke some ribs.... After this, I COULD NOT front, or back flip into a pool. LITERALLY like I lost the muscle memory. I'd try and try and be doing these super wonky frontflips. One day, i decided, fuck it I'm just gonna commit to a back dive (like half back flip) and after a few attempts of twisting, I was able to do it again. And then i could backflip again like it was second nature.
When you become expert at something, it becomes subconscious and so you don't need to consciously think about it. This enables you to perform well because you can take into account many variables at the same time. Choke happens in high stakes moments because you can't help using conscious thought to try to improve your performance, but this ends up making you perform worse because you fixate on a single variable instead of the big picture and is not the way you've trained. I think that the yips is just a form of choke. You know you're overthinking and will perform worse and your brain tries to stop you performing the action at all. Double-think is what top experts do to avoid choke, by tricking themselves into not feeling they're in a high stakes moment.
@@peterboneg Thought so The way you explained it above felt very reminiscent of the Authers writing style so I couldn't help but take a guess. If you have any recommendations on other books, I'd happily take them. Currently listening to "mastery" by Robert Green - not usually a fan of his works as a whole due to how monotonous they can feel (as a result of many, many examples) but mastery has stood out to me so far. Also found "A dictionary of body language" by Joe Navarro as an easy read if you're looking for something short and sweet to come back to every now and again.
@@reelgesh51 thanks, I've not heard of those. I'd recommend one of the earliest books on this subject called The Inner Game of Tennis. It's specifically about tennis but can be applied to really anything. Another good one is The art of learning by Josh Waitzkin, who was an expert in chess before becoming an expert in tai chi. The thing I took from that last book is to vary the way you train as much as possible and take tips from many different disciplines.
@@peterboneg You're actually the second person to recommend the art of learning to me. Guess I really need to get a move on then haha Thank you so much, hope the books I've recommended turn out to be interesting for you :) - can already tell I'll be having a blast Something I should mention about mastery if you do ever decide to give it a read is the book can feel more like a history book. The author constantly references his theorems and beliefs through historical examples, so much so the book can often feel tiring and not to the point. I personally found many of these analogy's extremely helpful as I myself enjoy learning about history but more importantly the examples given give a glimpse into the success of artists, scientists, poets, mechanics and doctors. Which personally helped me broaden my perspective and made his "rules" clearer and malleable. I'd recommended perhaps getting it "free" on audible if you haven't as listening to the historical devices on the way to work can be quite relaxing at times - reminds me I'm not the only one feeling the way I do etc. In any case forgive my long-winded comment - I often get carried away and hope you have a pleasant day :)
I defo sometimes suffer from performance anxiety, pissed me off so much. How i got over it (kind of) is i stopped caring about how i looked, i stopped caring about letting others down and i just focused on what needed to get done. This also translates to collaboration efforts in med school. When i think too hard about how i look im so timid and say the dumbest things but when i focus on my learning and understanding i actually perform better. And of course the more confident in my skills i am the less anxiety with performance i have. Thanks for this video it really made me sit down and reflect
Thats when you practise another trick. You so into learning the movement and you are so focused to it hard to switch to other movment already lock in your memory. same goes when you try one trick, a grind or something, and you try 100 times. its hard for instant kickflip muscel memory.
or when you slam hard on a trick that should be easy and then you lose all confidence in that trick and cant do it anymore. i have a huge mental block with back 50s after slamming insanely hard on an over waxed box.
@@adrianc6534 Back 50's are so scary for no damn reason. Had them on lock for years. They were my warm up grind, and now. It's a trick i'll do if i'm feeling confident.
the zero zero scoreboard thing you mentioned is what our American football coach would say every halftime. Its about keeping yourself competitive if you are winning and keeping you calm if you're loosing.
Oh maybe a related phenomenon as well, I read that concert pianists can lose their ability to coordinate their fingers individually when the brain regions which manage each finger grow so large that they begin to overlap with one another. This is a neurologically issue which essentially comes from over training and hyper-stimulating the brain in recruitment towards a specific task
Hes trying to make youtube a full time job, problem is parkour on youtube isnt worth any money whatsoever. Its why motus charge for anything they put out anymore...
Parkour is a pretty tough topic to post consistent videos on in mini documentary style after a while. Jimmy did a banging job keeping it parkour only for as long as he did, plus he obviously enjoys branching out into other topics and is getting great at it.
great vid dude. as a musician/vocalist, it happens all the time!! especially during music play exams/try outs. all your skills kinda just go away when you're out on the spot. just like the guy in the comments said, the flow state is disturbed when one is overthinking about every technical detail. if you want to perform best on the spot, it's a balance between things you learnded and becoming one with flow. very hard - only happens with right vibes. vibes are everything.
This also happened to me at tryouts for a regional. Before music I was very good at drawing even at 7 I could draw realistic drawings of animals and landscapes. As time went by I couldn't draw like I used to and found music to replace it. I kept switching instruments when I managed to learn them and my most practiced and played was a memory I couldn't achieve again.
OMG I've just realised the Yips is what had happened to me in skateboarding! I started skating at the age of 13 and practiced every day. I was learning ollies after a week. But then I fell on my arm and almost dislocated my elbow. The injury healed after a month or two but after that I lost ALL ability to skate! I kept practicing almost every day for a year. Or two. Then I kept practicing regularly but less frequently for few more years. And during ALL this time I didn't progress ONE bit. I still couldn't even do the most basic of ollies. Eventually I just had to stop skating all together (thank God parkour came to my life after that) But, yes, it's a confidence thing. I don't know if there were any physiological changes in my nervous system after that fatal fall but it just felt like my body was TERRIFIED of falling again so I couldn't force it to attempt anything new on the skateboard.
I used to do a lot of flips on tower jumps when i was 12-18. But somehow i forgot how to do them and became scared to perform those actions. I recently started building up from smaller heights again, scary stuff
have you guys seen space jam? The yips? No! Its a group of aliens stealing their athletic abilities so that they can beat a team of looney characters in basketball game
Actually crazy. I've had moments in video games where high pressure moments in multiplayer matches cause my hands to completely go numb and then I can't even perform the thing I need to perform. I first noticed this when I was getting my first fire cape in Runescape. Actually crazy this has a name.
LMAO thats hilarious because I experienced the same.. You actually know what helps fighting Jad? Saying the moves he does out loud. Your brain registers things better when it hears you repeat what it just saw. Its weird but the second I did it, prayer switching was much easier.
@@mihailmilev9909 I think if anything it'll be hard to get it out of a lot of people. Some may just chock up their reflexes getting worse to just getting older. Sounds like an interesting story for someone out there to start looking.
Although really uncommon, the case in basketball with Markelle Fultz of the Orlando Magic is a really fascinating one. After recovering from a chronic shoulder injury he had no idea how to shoot the ball in a live game setting anymore. Which is insane because he was drafted #1 overall for being a reliable instant 3 level scorer with as polished a skillset as a college guard can come with. That is probably the most extreme version of basketball YIPS I can think of.
I remember that, since he was drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers, and I don't think anyone in Philadelphia was mad at him which is actually pretty rare for Philadelphia
Phillie fucked up markelles shot … they had him see a shooting coach trying to get him to release the ball higher and faster as they worried he’d be unable to get shots of consistently at nba level despite showing elite shot making ability at college …
I play esports pretty competitively (top 5k or so). For me I've definitely been suffering through something like this lately. I was at a relatively low rating and just wasn't able to win. I couldn't even do the most basic of tasks that even an average player can do. So thank you for this video.
Dont think too much and just remember you're dope, happened to me after a bad death in dayz once, for awhile I couldn't even play any fps any where near my previous skill level. Had to build my confidence again in planetside then it just kinda came back
Having played competitive pc games for years, I got to a point where I was very, very good, but found a wall that I was stuck at, trying to improve. I started analyzing every single thing I would do, and started developing things like the yips. My mouse wouldn't feel right. Things would tug wrong. Clicks felt out of sync. I know how this feels. It's terrible when something you've done for years and years in a fluid, "clean" feeling starts to feel "dirty" and doesn't execute properly.
For a case study of performance anxiety, you should check out the rhythm game osu! As you play, a combo gradually builds up and it resets to 0 if you miss once. This means some players playing very hard beatmaps get heart rates over 170bpm and their hands shake like mad. Many top tournament players have talked/written about nerves, consistency, and the mental game.
I’m so glad jimmy brought this to me and so many other’s attention! This definitely happens to me and it’s very frustrating! So thanks for the tips and explanation 😊
7:25 "A physical issue stemming from neurology" shows that IT IS MENTAL lol to find the basis of a problem, you start at the beginning... pretty easy concept to understand. The physical, is being caused by, a NEUROLOGICAL PROBLEM!?!
Dude, you're on a run with the your video upload frequency!! And I love watching all of them, they're good entertainment while doing mundaine every day tasks
For people who try to analize this phenomenon in the comments, stop, you can't. It's like losing smell and taste during corona. You didn't do anything to make it disappear and you don't know what to do to bring it back. It just happened, although it wasn't supposed to and makes no sense. Same goes with stuff like psychosis. You literally can't imagine how it feels, until it hits you and the impossible becomes your sad and scary reality. Been there.
This happened to one of my idols. He couldn't control his twisting in acrobatics. For example a 360 backflip would become a 720 and this is dangerous. I've felt the same. Unfortunately he retires from the sport. chrisrox112
Finnaly I know why thank you so much. Ive been a freerunner for going on 6 years not too extreme just back flips and the most i got was a back 360 flat. Then i just couldnt do it anymore. I couldnt bring myself to go over my head again. I bet if i turned my brain off and didnt think i could but i cant get into that state again its been years ive sadly given up.
This ended the career of Chuck Knobloch, Yankee 2nd baseman. He suddenly couldn't throw to 1st base. He would throw the ball into the stands. They had to move him to left field just so he couldn't overthrow it. He saw a sports psychologist, but could never fully recover. The fans called him Blockhead.
The yips sounds a lot like stuttering, when I was a kid I was fairly good at speaking my home language, but when I was introduced to school I didn't know much English so I had major anxiety from any interaction, it totally messed me up. My parents thought I got brain damage/stroke or something, since I couldn't even make full sentences in the language I already spoke. Luckily once I hit my teens my parents realized it wasn't going to go on its own and took me to group therapy for kids with speech impediments, where they concentrated on relaxation and confidence building rather than anything physically wrong.
Reminds me of that time I was able to do backflips, until i threw one on my head after that.. couldn't even throw myself backwards anymore. just full glitch every time :D
Do you have to constantly pan back to your face just show videos because they are awesome in every way save for the constantly showing of yourself. You're a good looking dude, just no one cares about you switching to yourself talking. It's like all RU-vidrs have started doing this. Sooo vain.
I had something similar happen when I was out on anti depressants about 6 yrs ago. I got off them within 2 or 3 months but I developed a yip for certain fine things I try to do with my hands. I used to tech deck at a pretty high level and I can't even flick an Ollie anymore.
I suffered all my life from anxiety. In golf it became performance anxiety and under pressure I would have a very difficult time! Ended up giving up the game in competition! Never could overcome it!
Your all just over thinking the basic mechanics. The more you think you mentally over program your basic instincts. You have let your body flow naturally and like water like you own it.
Crazy how she forgot how to flip and had to drop out right after the event she fucked up and couldnt win a medal in anymore, meaning her record showed that she dropped out and it wasn't that she came last ...before making a miraculous recovery and being able to compete in the event where she could still win a medal. Rly niga? We actually gna pretend that's believable?
i wonder if htis is why everybody hates varial flips in skateboarding...among other reasons. skaters have such confidence in what we do, but a V flip is just this weird thing we learn than never do again. that is, until some kid does one in a game of skate. then a trivial trick turns into this mental warfare of "if i mess u this stupid trick i look like an idiot"
I was a division 1 gymnast. The "twisties" can cause you to lose track of where you are in the air because your mind gets ahead of what you're doing (mind moving faster than the rate of the execution of whatever it is you're doing). I certainly wouldn't call it a dystonia. Simone was probably under a lot of pressure. Blaming her departure all on "The twisties" was an odd choice by the media.
so youre telling me body and mind are fighting for whos right and whats the speed both wants and it mixes the speed of both brain and body and making the player sonfused and lose the speed.
I felt sad for the Darts guy, you can see it in his face, that he wants to release the dart, but it just wasn’t happening. The guy was about to burst into tears.
