If you look unreal in practice but disappear in games, this is why.
Most players don’t “choke” because they lack confidence.
They flip into a different setting the second pressure hits.
I call it your Default Mode:
the version of you that shows up automatically when your name gets called.
Some players default to attack:
“Give me the puck.”
“I’m dangerous.”
“I belong.”
Others default to survival:
“Keep it simple.”
“Don’t be the reason.”
Same skill. Different wiring.
In my latest YouTube video, I break down how I think Macklin Celebrini keeps “attack mode” ON (even after mistakes)
And the 3-step reset you can use mid-shift to stop the spiral and get your real game back.
