“In a 1982 study, psychologists Amos Tversky and Thomas Gilovich discovered that “there was absolutely no evidence of the hot hand. A player’s chance of making a shot was not affected by whether or not his previous shots had gone in. Each field goal attempt was its own independent event,” (Lehrer). However, some players allow a missed shot to affect their confidence, and they question their technique. When they question their technique, and shoot at a conscious level, they alter their technique, reducing consistency.”

“Competitiveness We accept competition as a battle to best an opponent, but its Latin roots mean to bring forth your best. In the Latin version, competition is not external, but internal.”
