A similar story in sports is that of Rick Ankiel. He was a top pitcher in 2000 but he experienced some kind of panic in a playoff game that prevented him from throwing the ball over the plate. His story ended in success as he quit pitching and went on to become the great hitter and position player that he is now. It's really an interesting story: http://awurl.com/xqsndl148973 http://awurl.com/xqsndl148973
