If there is a streak, a good reason for it might just be because when you start making 1 or two in a row you stop worrying about the mecahnics of making the third. There's a great bit in the book Bounce about the concept of The Yips.

It seems to occur when we start worry about our mechanics again and begin over thinking our work, rather than letting our more smoothly acting muscle memory do the task.
I always wonder if this isn't also really applicable to startups. Do we over think these rather than practice a set of skills that we can later rely on in almost a muscle memory like way? Do we have yips when trying to run our businesses?
