It’s worth noting on occasion that real-life athletes aren’t programmed like video game characters. They aren’t machines.
Sometimes a skill that usually comes naturally, that’s muscle memory for a player, is thrown out of whack for whatever reason.
Seth McLaughlin first took up the center position at 7 years old. He still keeps in contact with the youth coach that first put him there.
In the 15 or so years since that time, snapping had not been an issue for him. He played 11 games, starting eight for Alabama in 2022 and it wasn’t an issue then, either.
