These guys are professional athletes and human; while I was never at that level, I can relate what happens when everything is easy and working from my bowling experience. Everything is easy, the team just smoked the other team by over 100 pins. Strikes and spares are routine. The next game starts, the team opens the first frame and the other team gets strikes and spares. Uh oh, they are coming back. Suddenly, everything that seems so easy isn't happening. Spares are missed, strikes turn into solid 10 pins and the other team is gaining ground.
Once you lose that focus, it's hard to get it back. It's hard to explain because the focus was just 'there' and when it was gone, it's GONE. You can't just wish it back. The harder you try, the worse things get.
Or anyone that plays golf; some days, everything is working great and then you feel like you've never played this damn game. Momentum is a real thing.
