In a high school basketball game, my team was down by 1 and I had 2 free throws with 1 sec left on the clock. Pressure's on!
I go up, make the first. Phew! Heart's a poundin
I turn around and try to relax myself for the 2nd shot. As I walk up to the line, I didn't realize my right foot ended up stepping across the line. My teammates are yelling at me, "get your foot off the line!!!" But I wasn't hearing any of it. My sole focus was making the shot and I shut everything else out. I ended up making the shot but it did not count.
We went into overtime and ended up losing.
I was distraught about letting everyone down. I could not believe I just effed it up so badly and that I wasn't able to hear everyone yelling at me. Rest assured I always checked my footing before every free throw from that point on.
Yep, tunnel vision happened big time with me.
Shelby fired her gun at the same time that Turnbough fired a Taser at Crutcher because she had “tunnel vision” and did not realize other officers had arrived on scene.
