Is it though? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You're making some pretty bold assumptions about competitive athlete psychology here.

I make no claims about what’s going on in people’s heads here just the underlying reality.

I was pissed I didn’t go to nationals in high school largely because I got no sleep the night before due to a crappy hotel stay. Losing a close game to board 1 while trying to stay awake sucked, but I was hardly the only person off my game, so that’s just how things workout.
