I think that people underestimate how much confidence or lack thereof impacts professional athletes. For the rest of us, it's easy to think "you're so amazing, how can you not see that!?", but if they don't actually believe that deep down, it's impossible for them to perform well. Seeing Brooks in that episode gave me a new understanding of that poor guy. I did laugh when his wife was talking about clothes and he's just like "I could only think about my swing". That was pretty funny, and somewhat relatable!
