		NoodleIncident on Feb 9, 2021 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Thinking too much can be bad for you (2012) After only skimming and searching, it seems a bit weird to open an article on this topic with an example from tennis and _not_ reference The Inner Game of Tennis. It's a pretty good book that can be applied to lots of things; conscious thought and verbalizing can make you worse at learning and executing a task.

Was going to make the same comment. Gallwey does a better and more thorough job of articulating what is going on here.

It reminds me of The Pace regarding motorcycle riding. I think there are a lot of places where this is relevant.
