Post Match Raiders v Warriors - [Round 20, 2024]

Interesting post Wrighty

So you’re saying mainly intelligent people choke because their brain is racing a thousand miles and hr?

I don’t think choking has anything to do with intelligence and more to do with how well you can control your emotions. Emotional people choke. Stoic people don’t. Stoic people have ice in their veins. It’s called Clutch.

Intelligent people are more emotionally sensitive usually. So we are kind of agreeing but coming from different angles.

My major point was different though. I don't think we should call it choking. We need to recognise the task at hand becomes very difficult under pressure and you need to acquire a gun kicker and a gun drop kick specialist in your team. You can't just pick the best 13 guys and give goal kicking to the person who is best at it out of those 13. You need a proper kicker. And you need to recruit a half who can drop kick in over time. You can't expect normal players to step up to being clutch.
I base all this analysis on my days as a being a premier division cricket player.

Intelligence level isn't the definer of being clutch. Being able to make good decisions under pressure and fatigue, being able to have focus and shut out the outside influences and execute your trained skills is. I have played sport with a variety of people of varying levels of intelligence and it's not a key determining factor to being clutch IMO.

Totally agree.
I don’t believe your level of intelligence defines your clutch gene. That’s why i believe it has more to do with emotion than intelligence.
Men are more clutch than women because women are more emotional than men. It doesn’t mean men are more intelligent though. I also dont think there is a strong correlation between emotion and intelligence… but I’m no psychologist so what do I know..

Women are more emotionally sensitive than men. Does it mean they’re more intelligent? Nope.

I think clutch players rely on their muscle memory and have faith in it. They get in ‘the zone’. They need elite muscle memory honed by years of experience and repetition.

Non-clutch players tend to mentally prepare themselves to compensate for a lack of experience and faith in themselves and overthink what they need to do, which distracts the body from doing what it does naturally. We see this with players losing posture and form; losing their breathing; tense; etc

Any player of any intelligence can be clutch or un-clutch. However players that haven’t built the muscle memory will be affected by how much they overthink things.

I think more intelligent people will struggle more by falling back on their brain as their go to rather than having faith in their body. Trying to make physical corrections instead of just flowing.

I think CHT lost his nerve and his smarts made it worse for him.

In my cricket story from a few days ago, when I clutched up to score the winning runs I did a high percentage shot I had done a million times before. So just trying to agree with your point.
What also makes clutching up hard is making eye contact with your opposition and seeing how bad they want you to fail. So that is one small tip as well. In cricket just watch the ball.

Sj on chanel choking, also this looks like the new podcast he's on.

SJ looks like he has a good career in front of him in media. Very good speaker.

 

[MrFrankWhite]

To me its a time perception thing. People who perform under pressure are never rushed

 

[Makasene]

SJ summed it up in his first comment lol - "he should have got it."

Anything said after that about the kick is all meh in my mind.

He is right though, CHT played a solid as game.

One good thing I'm seeing from SJ regularly, is honesty. When he spoke about being injured and not up to it, that was honest. When he said he still thinks hes the best 7 when fit, thats honest too.

He's right CHT should have made the kick. But then he explains why he missed and it makes sense.

Warriors Head Shed needs some of that honesty
