What's this?

Sure it is...


...I just don't see the point in dismissing it because it isn't the exact same as Osaka. The "yips" are certainly a mental health issue...hence why some athletes would see a sports psychologist (I saw one at VT for something similar). Though as I've explained in other threads...the "yips" for Biles could result in serious injury.
