Noam Hassenfeld: 本节目探讨了yips现象,即运动员或专业人士突然丧失其长期练习的技能,即使身体状况良好。通过棒球运动员Rick Ankeel的案例,展现了yips现象对运动员职业生涯的巨大影响,以及他们所经历的挣扎和痛苦。Rick Ankeel在职业生涯巅峰时期突然无法投球,这给他带来了巨大的心理压力和职业危机。他尝试了各种方法恢复,包括回归基础、调整心态等,但最终未能完全恢复,不得不选择退役。然而,在转型为外野手后,他的投球能力意外地恢复了,这引发了对yips现象成因的深入思考。 Sally Akers: yips不仅仅是压力下的表现失常,而是对技能的控制力丧失,这与运动员的自动反应能力下降有关。运动员在高水平的竞技状态下,其动作往往是自动化的,无需过多思考。而yips的出现,意味着运动员对自身能力的信任下降,导致动作不再自动化,变得僵硬和缺乏效率。 Steve Fruct: yips可能并非完全是心理问题,部分患者存在生理原因,例如局灶性肌张力障碍。局灶性肌张力障碍是一种运动障碍,其症状只在特定身体部位和特定动作中出现,并且通过功能性核磁共振成像可以观察到其在大脑活动中的表现。过度练习反而会加剧病情,药物或肉毒杆菌毒素注射可以缓解症状,但无法治愈。研究yips可以帮助科学家更好地理解学习机制,以及天赋的奥秘。 Rick Ankeel: 讲述了自己患上yips后的经历,以及在尝试各种方法后最终选择退役的故事。他强调了yips带来的巨大心理压力和职业生涯的挫折,以及在转型为外野手后意外恢复投球能力的经历。

Think about the thing you’ve practiced more than anything else in the world. Maybe it’s painting. Or writing. Or playing the piano. Now imagine you wake up one day and you just can’t do it. You’re not sick. You’re not injured. But that one thing is impossible.

It’s called the yips, and even the most talented people in the world experience it. What could cause them to lose their superpowers? And is there anything they can do to get them back?
