The psychology of sports, or any performance for that matter, is one of my favourite things, as it has deep insights into how humans tackle this thing called life.
The best games are the ones that really see-saw with neither team really gaining an advantage right until the very end. There’s so much drama not just on the sports field, but also in the minds of the players trying so hard to make it through, that it makes for great entertainment.
Anything else is boring in comparison. So although drama in real life is somewhat undesired, at least it’s eventful. You just need to find your own way to get ahead of the game.
