Andy Neary explains how overthinking kills performance. When he focused too hard on perfect pitches, he threw them over the plate and got hit. The same trap catches content creators who obsess over every detail instead of just shipping work.
On the flip side.
The worst games I ever had on the mound is.
When I tried to be perfect. I thought too much.
I aimed the ball a little too much at the catcher's men, and I would try to nibble on the corners. I'd get a little too cute. And what would end up happening most.
Of the time is.
That I would miss my target. The ball would end up a little far too over the plate. And you know what happens at that point when you miss your target? The ball goes down the middle of the strike zone, that ball's going 400ft.
In the other direction, and the batter is rounding the bases and scoring a run. You see, in.
Athletics, thinking too much, trying to be perfect is a recipe for disaster. And the same holds true.
