But for baseball, where there is time in between plays for the pitcher or the hitter to psyche himself out and totally throw everything he’s practiced the majority of his life off-kilter, it works even better. It’s not so much intelligence as it is pure instinct and being able to keep it that way, since there is little margin for error in baseball. A pitch that doesn’t break as much as the pitcher wanted to because he over-thought it, or a batter taking a huge cut at a 3-2 pitch in the ninth that he should have crushed, only to come up empty. Plus, baseball is a sport where one’s failure is somewhat expected. Giving up 3 runs a game for a pitcher is just fine, getting out 7/10 is perfectly OK.
What’s even more astounding is that some baseball players aren’t even very good athletes. They do, however, have the strength and the muscle memory from years of practice to help them compete at the highest levels of the game.

I would think that a sport that is in constant, high-speed motion, that is played at a level in which conscious thinking is almost impossible, is a better sport to support this theory.

It is true that when playing sports, when it really matters, you let yourself go and are almost completely controlled by your instinct. I’ve often wondered that great athletes are not respected enough for their minds. To be able to excel at such high levels of athleticism, public pressure, and physical endurance is amazing and only few can handle it. But again, look at hockey – there is never a part of the game that is played without motion. The amount of information that must be processed is astounding: holding an object (stick), moving in an unnatural way (skating), handling a puck, watching plays develop, going at speeds of sometimes 30 MPH, as well as all the other information being processed in other sports (crowds, noise, etc.).

Basically, what I’m trying to say is that hockey players are geniuses.
