Sinopsis de NEUROLOGICAL YIPS: SUDDEN COLLAPSE OF MOTOR CONTROL

Imagine dedicating twenty years of your life to perfecting a single physical movement, only to have your brain suddenly and inexplicably refuse to execute it. This is the terrifying reality of the "yips," a sudden, devastating loss of fine motor skills that has inexplicably ended the careers of elite golfers, baseball pitchers, and professional musicians.
For decades, the sports world dismissed this condition as mere performance anxiety or a lack of mental toughness under pressure. However, the hidden truth lies deep within the architecture of the human nervous system. The yips are often a manifestation of focal dystonia, a neurological glitch where the brains mapped pathways for highly repetitive, over-learned movements literally begin to short-circuit and cross-wire, resulting in involuntary muscle spasms.
This book breaks down the exact biomechanics of athletic failure. You will explore the neuroscience of muscle memory, the desperate psychological interventions athletes use to trick their own brains, and the tragic history of sports legends undone by a twitch.
Understand the fragile connection between mind and muscle. Learn how extreme repetition can paradoxically destroy competence, and discover the cutting-edge therapies helping athletes reclaim their physical autonomy.
