For reference, I was sitting in the second row, and I've been looking for it ever since and I see some signs of it even now.

The good news? It's fixable. The bad news? It can affect a player deeply if it's not addressed.

Watch him during warmups - it's mostly evident there. If he misses a shot, he slumps his shoulders, shakes his head, and gets really down on himself. If he misses two in a row it affects him even more and it's more pronounced.

He internalizes mistakes a LOT. And it's that bottling up that shuts him down.

In the psychology of sports, or anything, you cannot let that affect you.

Although I don't play professional sport, I do play competitive table tennis. You can lose when the game is on the line if you think about the score more than the point. Even then, you can work really hard on a rally, and you can not work very hard and get an ace. They are all still worth one point. You can also lose and it's all still one point.

Each time you shoot, each time you miss, each time you make it, it's just one opportunity and you got to let that stuff go and get back to your game plan. When you internalize it and let it affect you and your game within, you're toast . . . (burnt toast, not the good kind with butter or jam.)
