casualjoe Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Hi all, so after reading about this experiment you will just have to give this a try before a ride, probably worth doing something similar with your left foot too: The test was only done on right handed people so it's not certain that it works in reverse but it's worth a try. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-09-simple-routine-athletes-pressure.html In three experiments with experienced soccer players, judo experts and badminton players, researchers in Germany tested the athletes' skills during practice and then in stressful competitions before a large crowd or video camera. Right-handed athletes who squeezed a ball in their left hand before competing were less likely to choke under pressure than right-handed players who squeezed a ball in their right hand. The results are pretty convincing, fire up your brains!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casualjoe Posted September 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 I would try squeezing James or Matts testicles but I don't think they'll fit in my hand, so I just squeeze my left grip now, seems to help 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
