Choke

In sports, a choke is the failure of an athlete or an athletic team to win a game or tournament when the player or team had been strongly favored to win or had squandered a large lead in the late stages of the event. Someone who chokes may be known as a choker or, more derisively, as a choke artist. Choking in sport can be considered a form of analysis paralysis.

The opposite of choking is to be clutch. A clutch player or team rises to the occasion under pressure rather than collapsing.

Looking forward to my 1st ever game without an open frame. I choked, right on the 10th.



Choking generally defines any average athletes from the elites or legends. Andriv Shevchenko choked, never recovered.

I've work my entire life never to allow myself to belt under pressure >_>.

It's really hard to always be in the position where one can simply re-compose or adjust him/herself to perform at the optimal level.

Am I just over-relax or overreacting.

I wrote about hating to lose the other day...

Frame 7:
Me: Spare
Her: Open

Frame 8:
Me: Spare
Her: Spare

Frame 9:
Me: Strike
Her: Spare

Frame 10:
HER: X X X - TURKEY
Me: OPEN. 8 / -





IF i had HIT 1 more pin, we'd have tied. I was NEVER in a position to LOSE. I lost. CHOKED.

135 - 133

It was a tough beating, and particularly the reason why I'd love to play with her, adrenaline rush !!!

It's the kinda emotion and feeling that money can't buy!

While caking, someone pop right into my head. Anyway, my top strength is: 1. Ideation: loves associating and providing ideas 2. Command: leadership, loves to put his ideas through 3. Futurist: star-trek 4. Individualisation: view individual base on strength weakness, not stereotyping 5. Learner: keen to learn In short, I'm a futuristic creative open commander! Sounds awesome eh? Strength Finder 2.0 is a book that only concentrate on strengths ($39.00) zero about weaknesses so all you hear are good stuff. ======= Individualisation Anyway back to my caking session. Mr Ibrahim, came to my mind. He was quite a good looking Indian back in my primary school days. I've always tried to protect him though I admit to join in bullying him once in a while. Sometimes he'd come to me "begging" to help him or lend him money with his hands in "praying mode". I took pity of him ever since he did that once and when he told me "All i got is 40cents a day and they sto...

The Pioneer LX55 Bluray Player Review

Pioneer Corporations, once the leading company for Home Theatre Systems, Display and Optical players, began to falter when the likes of Samsung, LG, Sharp etc came into picture with lower end products for the mass consumer. Pioneer, who steer clear form the niche market, producing high end products, fell to it's knees, withdrawing from the TVs market and started a joint venture with Sharp, resulted in absolute catastrophe. Pioneer fanboys nicknamed the products "Sharpioneer" A bold direction, right or wrong, there's too much points to take, although myself would 200% standby their decision to continue with making highend products previously, even though they failed eventually. Anyhow, ever since that catastrophic "Sharpioneer" released, tons of consumers ditched their players within days of purchases, the management finally woke the FUCK UP. Director Product Planning and Marketing Pioneer USA, Chris Walker started visiting multiple online forums, gat...
