Think of a slingshot? Or a person jumping?[1]. We see this, not only in mammals and muscles, but in organic systems which evolved to trade speed for power by storing mechanical, electrical, or chemical potential energy over time. Overshoot and damping is the same in reverse: dissipating kinetic energy when you, for example, bend your knees when you land from a jump (hopefully).
