Quote:I don't think it's all that weird.

 

Blake clearly puts a lot of pressure on himself to perform at a high level, mostly out of necessity because he generally has to perform at a regularly high level for us to succeed. I can't help but think he might be trying to shoulder too much of the burden and he's buckling under the weight of said burden right now. So we have a pressure + uncertainty = regression formula at work. I think it's entirely natural to revert to old [bad] habits when you don't know what else to do.

 

He needs to calm down, stop panicking/pressing and trust his teammates and coaches to do their jobs. He isn't Atlas, nor should he have to be, but right that's what seems to be stuck in his psyche.
