Chapter 1061 Psychological Burden

In professional sports, there has always been such a special phenomenon objectively. It seems that you lose all your professional skills overnight.

Professional movements that were once simple and easy, repeated tens of thousands of times, suddenly disappeared, and I can’t play/kick ball anymore!

There is also a technical term for this, "Yips Syndrome (YIPS.

Originally, this originated from a golf term, which generally refers to the phenomenon that professional players have symptoms such as twitching, trembling and stiffness in key games, resulting in difficulty or mistakes in putting. For a smooth putting action.

Many sports that require high concentration and precision, such as cricket, tennis, darts, etc., often have similar phenomena. In fact, it is not just sports. Some people also have similar phenomena when typing or playing musical instruments. Later, it also refers to Circumstances of loss of professional skills.

So, what is the cause of Ipsism?

At present, medical research is still in the exploratory stage, but overall, it can be divided into two parts-

Physical level and psychological level.

One is the physical level.

Dyskinesia yips originates from a physical condition called dystonia, which refers to the degree to which muscles are tensed in their resting, resting state.

Generally speaking, even in a state of relaxation and rest, the muscles will maintain a certain degree of tension to maintain the alignment of the body's bones.

In patients with dystonia, the tension of the muscles will fluctuate. In addition to involuntary contraction, it may even cause muscle deformation.

Naturally, in projects that require professional skills, including playing, sports, etc., it is easy to deviate if you cannot control your muscles voluntarily.

One is the psychological level.

It is mainly caused by anxiety in a stressful environment. Related brainwave studies have also found that when players with yip syndrome experience anxiety during putting or hitting the ball, the left brain will be overactivated, which will affect the control of details. , This is the general anxiety-type yip syndrome.

It can be understood as abnormal performance caused by pressure. In informal games, they often perform better than in official games; of course, there are more serious cases, even in informal games, they lose their professional skills, and they seem to have never played or hit the ball. Generally, completely forgotten.

Gradually, this kind of phenomenon occurs in a wider range, not only closely related to "hands", but also in baseball, football, basketball and other sports.

So, how to treat it?

Dyskinesia-type Ipsia requires professional treatment, and there is no 100% cure guarantee for the time being; Anxiety-type Ipsiasm is somewhat elusive, some people may completely lose their professional skills from then on, and some people may wake up as soon as they wake up. Return to its original appearance.

Here, why mention ips?

It's not that Dimitrov suffers from yips, but rather that under pressure imbalances, professional footballers can lose their skills.

In other words, the batting action, which was originally simple, suddenly didn't know what to do.

Dimitrov did not suffer from Ipp.

But the truth is, the pressure is stacked against him, and from Rotterdam to Acapulco, things are not getting better, not only not, but getting worse—

This was the case in the final set against Harrison. Dimitrov didn't seem to know how to play, not to mention layout and game play. The judgment of the ball feel all failed, and the whole game was completely ineffective.

Obviously standing on the court, but can't play.

In fact, under such circumstances, if you continue to compete reluctantly, it will not help at all, and may lead to the situation further slipping into the abyss.

The best way is to stay away from the field completely, calm down completely, slow down, and slowly find yourself in a stress-free environment.

But things are obviously not that simple.

For one thing, in the tennis season, one event after another, there is no breathing space at all. If you stay a little away from the field, you may be left far behind.

Dimitrov is only twenty-four years old, and his career has entered an all-round upswing. Every second he wastes is prime time. Does he have the capital to waste it?

Second, even if Dimitrov is determined to stay away from the game for a period of time, he needs to stay away from the pressure and also needs psychological support.

The problem is that the relationship between Dimitrov and Sharapova is precisely the fuse of the whole thing. If Dimitrov chooses to press the pause button, will Sharapova be willing to accompany him? Or did it intensify the conflict, causing the two to part ways, and then things deteriorated further?

Dimitrov himself was resisting this.

Tobias cautiously mentioned it to Dimitrov, but Dimitrov refused without thinking.

"I want to play ball."

Dimitrov still has fighting spirit and murderous intent in his eyes. Although he is confused and lost, he still hopes to stand on the court and fight.

He doesn't want to surrender.

Because of Sharapova, but also because he really loves tennis, Dimitrov is still looking forward to more glory for himself.

escape?

flinch?

Neither was Dimitrov's choice.

Therefore, Dimitrov decided to go to Indian Wells. After Acapulco was out, he did not return to Miami, flew directly to California, and went to the desert to prepare early.

but…

The situation is not good.

When Gao Wen was still in Auckland, he noticed Dimitrov's abnormality, and then asked Tobias.

Although Tobias told Gawain not to worry and kept emphasizing that Dimitrov was fine, Gawain still hoped to help his friend.

So Gao Wen sent out an invitation:

doubles.

Different from singles, the atmosphere and rhythm of the doubles game are different. Perhaps saying this lacks a little respect for the players who specialize in doubles, but Gao Wen definitely did not mean to disrespect them. It is just that when the singles players enter the doubles field, It is really possible to let go of the burden and enjoy the game.

For Dimitrov ~www.mtlnovel.com~ it is not only to regain the touch through doubles, but also to temporarily forget the pressure and burden and start enjoying tennis.

One of the keys to healing anxious yips is to let go of the stress and start enjoying your professional skills again, as if you were a child.

Dimitrov's situation isn't that serious yet, but he does need some "relax and play and enjoy the game" moments.

Dimitrov also knew that Gawain was concerned about him, but he didn't want him to drag Gawain—

If Gao Wen participates in the doubles, Dimitrov naturally hopes that Gao Wen can advance to the deep round, just like Doha, and even compete for the championship, and then help Gao Wen go further in the singles arena.

He felt that he was like a burden.

Therefore, Dimitrov did not directly agree.

Gao Wen didn't force him, he just said over the phone in Oakland, "I also want to enjoy the game, put aside those expectations and pressure, believe me, I am sincere."

Then, Gao Wen hung up the phone, not knowing what Dimitrov was thinking.
