I understand what psychological barriers and lack of confidence can do. But seriously, 9 times of of 10 you need more practice, better coaching of your craft/skills and not a shrink. When you have made it to the peak of your game, then maybe the psychological has a bigger part to play. The problem with all the great players in sports giving interviews of their ups and downs on the court/field is that we often think we can identify with their problems. Problem shooting? We blame our psyche and think wtf is happening when we shoot say 70% from the field. Thing is is that 70% of 10,100, 1000 shots? Who's counting? Often we are not honest with ourselves let alone anyone else - that in itself is a barrier that we create. Don't fall into the trap. Y'all can hate me for saying all this. I don't know any of you, but I'm only saying this because I've seen potentially good athletes ending up not amounting to much because of the wrong mental frame of mind.
