THE YIPS I had that in CDL A driving school lol. I swear everyone said i was a natural. I was the best out there n then suddenly i couldnt dock a trailer. No idea why but i developed an anxiety very rapid. People thought i was messing around n i had to postpone my test a couple weeks. Ever since i had a anxiety about docking lol. I mean i just worked through it forcing myself to not gey frustrated n be confident n over time it became easier n times id do it without a worry. That pressure n anxiety of performing starts wrighing heavy when you lose confidence in ur ability. Its a mental barrier u have to beat with confidence

The yips is totally real and a strange thing. I played catcher for my company softball team in the day, was very good at it. Then one day i just could NOT get the ball to the pitcher. Over his head. Throw a grounder past him. He would get so frustrated and I was so embarressed. Its like the mind is over thining it, yet you arent aware of it.. quite the phenomena. I cant imagine having the yips with all the pressure of 1000s of fans watching. I think the Cardinals had a pitcher, Ankiel or something who just could not get the ball over the plate.
