An Introduction

Howdy!  My name is Joshua Earl, and I'm a student at the University of South Dakota.  This blog is titled Psychology and Sports because each post I will be focusing on an issue in a sport.  Now, this might be an examination of why a prominent player can't seem to make free throws (Dwight Howard, I'm looking up at you).  Or there might be a blog about the psychology behind the "yips" (when a solid player suddenly can't perform up to par).  Either way, hopefully this is a fun ride for you and for me!  See ya next time!
