Roger Federer being “Artful and Efficient”
In a similar vein to the last post about overconfidence, what causes slumps?
Rarely, even in a slump, does a performer truly lose all the time; it just feels that way. By bringing attention to what the trader (read: athlete) is doing right, the focus shifts from one of performance outcomes to the process of following one’s own best practices. It’s the [equivalent] of seeing the ball when you serve.
As a rule, slumps don’t just end; they have to be broken. Ironically, it’s when performers let go of their need to perform well that they suddenly gain fresh access to the skills that produce elite performance.
The Bears offense is going to be really good. Why didn’t Minnesota trade for that Cutler guy?
Lastly, Brazil @ Argentina in a World Cup qualifier this weekend. Argentina has been struggling and is missing several first choice defenders. Anyone know where to find this one on tv?

When looking for international soccer matches, besides atdhe.net, I refer to the spanish speaking channels, especially Telemundo, who ironically was the only one who had the U.S./Mexico game on cable television (and even wierder since ESPN was hyping the shit out of it, that they only had it on ESPN360).
Plus you know the “GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL” announcer always needs the work.
I also <3 the two tight end shotgun formation.
