Alright, serious question: is being "clutch" actually a skill, or are we just getting caught up in narratives when someone hits a game-winner or sinks a crucial shot? Like, I get that some athletes seem to rise to the occasion more than others, but is that a repeatable skill, or just coincidence and timing? Would love to hear your thoughts—especially from those who’ve played in pressure situations. Is it a mindset thing, or are we just giving credit to people who get lucky at the right time?
I think being "clutch" definitely has a skill element, but there’s also a mental game at play. Some athletes thrive under pressure because they've practiced for those moments, while others might freeze. It's a mix of experience, confidence, and maybe a bit of luck!
