This applies to how humans think and can over analyze and psych themselves out. Basically beating yourself.
I watched the Great Football Coach Jimmy Johnson use this example and I love it...I guess it relates to putting pressure on yourself.
If you ask someone to walk on a two by four on the ground everyone could do it and get from one side to the other without falling.
If you then take that same board and put it up 10 feet people would start to think about not falling and then because of that they will fall.
Another quote from him I like...on self fulfilling prophecies...
Treat a person as they are and they will remain as they are. Treat a person as they are what they could be and should be and they will become who they could be and should be.
- Another useful Jimmy Johnson tidbit from Show on America's Game...story of Super Bowl Champions and the 1993 Dallas Cowboys.
