The ‘yips’ is a term golfers use to describe a condition where they become compulsively unable to sink balls. They’ve also learned that they’re more likely to sink a putt if they don’t try too hard to hit the hole.
The New York Times offered the opinion recently that the ‘yips’ might extend to all sports. I agree, and I think it might be even bigger than that. In the movie Bull Durham, the pitcher does everything he can not to throw strikes that are actually fat pitches sent drifting right over the plate…and it works. By intentionally trying NOT to pitch well, he pitches brilliantly.
