I have played several sports in my life and after a big game, I personally see no change in the. way I played before the big game took place To make this study of momentum better for the player In the psychological and scientific world, I am for scientists doing blind studies on teams. and test heart rate before and after a big game. This way it can show if the athlete feels physically better and more confident before the game after the big game.
