Are you making mistakes in training and racing that slowly chip away at your ability to perform? Maybe things just feel tougher than they should all the time? Today, we look at how athletes put themselves behind the 8 Ball and continue to make things harder than they need to be. There is stress in tension and if you're putting too much on yourself, it will eventually bite you in The Ass.
