Crashing and the yips
Crashing has taken some tolls on my confidence in the past but it always varies as far as returning to 100% on the bike. Sometimes my psyche recovers much faster than the injury (broken hand) but I had one bad crash (vertabrae, ribs, collarbone, rotator cuff) that I still don't think I've bounced back from over the last few years. Still a little bit of lingering fear and doubt in the far recesses but I've gotten back up to 99% and that's good enough.
Anyone else ever have a case of the yips from cycling crashes?
