Video Transcript:

“Even at the highest levels of competitive sports you see world-class athletes choke. Growing up I watched Greg Norman choke over and over again, but never more spectacularly than at the 1996 Masters when he squandered a six stroke lead and managed to lose by 5 shots to Nick Faldo. 

20 years later, Jordan Speith suffered a similar fate at Augusta, when he inexplicably quadruple-bogeyed the 12th hole in the final round.

It happens in golf, but it also happens in basketball, football, baseball, hockey, and tennis. It happens in every sport, in fact, it happens in every arena of life. 

AC Milan disintegrated before fans eyes in the 2005 European Cup Final. Leading 3- Nil, Liverpool scored three times in five minutes and won on penalties.

The biggest choke in NBA history was by the Golden State Warriors, who entered the 2016 NBA Finals as favorites after winning a mind blowing and record setting 73 games during the regular season. They won the first two games of the finals, lead three/one after four games, and proceeded to implode and loose to the Cavaliers. 

In the NFL, the Falcons 2017 self-inflicted demise is unmatched. They squandered a 25 point third-quarter lead to lose Superbowl LI to the Patriots.

Anything can happen on the golf course, football field, basketball court, and soccer field, because anything can happen in our minds. It’s the challenges from within that are often the most difficult in life. HeadTrash is the fiercest opponent any competitive sports person has ever faced. 

When the best in the world choke, people don’t wonder, why did he do that or why didn’t she do this instead. They all ask the same question: What was he thinking? What was she thinking? Unconsciously, even a casual spectator, knows that the person got lost in their HeadTrash. 

It not a question of ability. 

Everyone knows Greg Norman was capable of winning the 1996 Masters. Something very unhealthy was happening in his mind. The same is true for AC Milan, The Golden State Warriors, the Atlanta Falcons, and Jordan Spieth. It was not a question of ability. In every instance, HeadTrash won. 

Don’t let your HeadTrash get the better of you. Everyone exeperinces it. Now lets take a look at The Ultimate Weapon Against HeadTrash in Part Six.”
