The yips are a debilitating form of performance anxiety that impact individuals in high-pressure situations. Experiences of the yips often begin at a young age when pressure transforms passion into distress, causing individuals to freeze in moments they should excel. For musicians, this manifests physically as trembling limbs and shortness of breath, leading to a sense of failure and shame. Despite using practiced skills, the overwhelming psychological weight creates a disconnect between preparation and actual performance, disrupting confidence and ability in public displays of talent.
The yips manifest as a debilitating anxiety, affecting performers in high-stress situations despite their skills and preparations, leading to a sense of paralysis and shame.
The experience of the yips often begins early in life, where even a strong passion can turn into a nightmare when performance anxiety takes over.
