Toffs And Toughs

This is a great piece about what's going on in this famous photograph. I love every single expression on each child's face.

I love this piece on how to keep yourself from seizing up at key moments. I'll try out this "holistic cue word" business. The second half, about how only slightly changing the way we look at problems can make it harder to choke feels right. It reminds me of what I try to do with sentences that jam me up when I'm writing. Some day if I have time I'll try to write what I actually mean by that.
