Funny. In many recreational sports at the low level, there's a similar sort of effect. You can just be better by always choosing to reach for the ball. I've noticed something a lot of successful people do is they always operate at that level. I only do when I'm feeling good: well-rested, ate recently, stress levels moderate. But I've practised at it and I'm getting better. For things you care about, it's always worth taking the shot.
