I like how Brian Sutterer just follows and knows about every sport

I always assumed every case of the yips was psychological only. Interesting. Should do a video on Rick Ankiel, he's honestly the only baseball athlete I've heard of that famously got the yips and still managed to stay in the league.

As an athletic training student, I love watching your videos! They make me want to start making them too! Thanks you!

Looks like chuck is trying to kill a bug but he’s gotta time it.

[jovjov]

OMG Yes!!!! His Oprah interview with Michael Jordan was hilariouse and I'm so glad he fixed it, he even said that he wouldn't give up, go Charles!!!

[ArthurKiyanovski]

Only someone who forgot what a killer sir Charles was as an NBA player could be surprised about him persevering to fix his yips.

Think you can do a piece on Derrick Rose's injuries?.. Not only how they slowed his career right down, but also how he bounced back from them all.

Also, waiting on Hockey's Worst Injuries Pt. 2 😎🏒🥅

Oh man I was over here thinking that he legit did that on purpose 😂🤦‍♂️

[mattmann]

Had this problem with throwing darts.
Very frustrating to fix. I did find that relaxing muscles and concentrating on mechanics helped me get over it

The body affects the mind, and the mind affects the body.
Great video, doc.

I took a class where we talked a lot about the yips from a sport psychology perspective, but didn’t realize the other side of the spectrum with dystonia

[wizmanballin]

Barkley was like: " Doc B aint gunna make a video of ME showing my bad golf sw..." Too late. He dropped b4 you got it right CB!😂

[TylerLeBlanc]

I’ve also heard that Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (compression of nerves that can make you feel numb in a certain body part) is another physical version of the “Yips” by losing the mental queue as to when to the release a pitch or “forgetting” how to pitch (Rick Ankiel in particular)

[joshforest]

I just watched Markelle Fultz's story (seems like type 1 and 2) and Ben Simmons' issues are interesting too (seems like type 2). Thanks for the Science behind it. Great vid

[tigerthomas]

Super interesting stuff doc. I went from a good Short putter to an awful one over night. Had the yips. I started looking at a spot 6 inches in front of the ball while putting and solved my yips.

[Henno]

Great video - always been curious about this topic

[willmoody]

Hey Brian, where did you go to high school, cause in your q and a video I saw you went to college at a school that’s only about 30 minutes away from where I lived. Keep up that amazing work!

[brendonoehme]

This is a very good video however, it doesn't explain how to overcome performance anxiety? Can anyone recommend where to get this kind of help please?

[niksonrex]

Can you further break down Kentucky Ballistics accident? I know its not sports related but id love more insight as to how Scott survived.

Awesome Jackie moon jersey. How about a breakdown of Jackie’s injuries after wrestling a bear.
