Toulon When you get your head around why a professional golfer misses a 3 foot putt in a major when he makes it 100 times out of 100 in practice, perhaps, you'll begin to understand the power of the mind and how it can be your best friend or worst enemy.
Good gawd man, it's either choke or execute. What's so complicated? Of course "power of the mind" plays a role. In football it's a collective power of the mind called... take your pick..."focus, attitude, etc..." AND execution.
Your Scully comment means little to me. So, go back to your metrics, like all those boys in Vegas who were wrong in consecutive weeks regarding the Eagles. Odds are they won't be wrong 3 times, in a row. But, I guess that's why they'll bother to play the game.
