Ev (An 8 index) always assumed that someone like Cerm (A scratch and D1 college player) never fully understood his level of frustration. Cerm never "lost" his swing and ability to hit the ball from one day to the next. This episode unpacks this idea, stories, and latest rounds that break this myth of mastery and frustration. If you assume no one experiences your level of frustration, this episode will help you stop putting so much pressure on yourself and get you back on track.
