Welcome to The Dean’s List! The weekly segment that brings readers hot takes, freezing cold takes, and everything in between from the world of Carolina athletics.
Sports psychology has to be one of the most interesting components that exists when we discuss athletes and/or sports teams. In fact, I feel like it’s an underrated conversation that is had, as a lot of the time we are quick to discuss technique, scheme, physical ability, and even coaching before we ever get to what’s going on in any given players’ head. In the case of Carolina basketball, I feel like that conversation is one that is long overdue, and it goes back as far as their second loss of the 2019-20 season against Ohio State.
