[QUOTE="4shotB, post: 790673, member: 844"] as usual, I oversimplified things. I also got to thinking about this aspect (and it too may be wrong). In travel ball, the kids weren't all that interested in team wins and losses, mostly in individual performances. In college, there is now additional pressure that comes from playing where W's and L's mean something and you really don't want to let teammates or coaches down. That can tighten the nerves a bit. I have seen more than a few athletes who could shine in scrimmages or practices or preseason games. But when it mattered, they froze up a bit. I went through it as a young man when I started playing tournament golf. That 3 foot putt that you would make 96% of the time in a friendly round wasn't nearly as easy when it was in tournament play. it took awhile for me to play enough to work through that issue. The only way to do that was by gaining experience in that environment. again, many thanks for your insight. Most of us are trading opinions here. It means more (imo) from those who have been in the arena. [/QUOTE]
