The Yips

Think about the thing you’ve practiced more than anything else in
the world. Maybe it’s painting. Or writing. Or playing the piano.
Now imagine you wake up one day and you just can’t do it. You’re
not sick. You’re not injured. But that one thing is impossible.
It’s called the yips, and even the most talented people in the
world experience it. What could cause them to lose their
superpowers? And is there anything they can do to get them back?
