You sir are on the money and present a huge decision that coaches have to make---my daughter's piano teacher told her before a recital that they were all gonna be nervous in front of the crowd---BUT they could choose whether to have GOD or BAD nerves---also the situations can put added pressure
score tied and your EP or FG changes score early in the game---same situation but the kick wins it
behind and your EP or FG ties it
behind and your EP or FG wins it---same hold true in baseball situations!!! make practice as real as possible and at least the player has an idea of the pressure----love audio sounds use in these situations like the winning FT in Basketball!!!
