Any time you're doing something you're accustomed to, something you're good at. Hell, you can be a recognized master in your field, but as soon as the pressure is on, you can choke. It can happen in sports. It can happen on game shows. It can happen in bed.
Expert athletes often talk about getting in "the zone", when they stop thinking about what they're doing it and just ''do it''. This usually leads to nigh balletic performances when they go above and beyond and win the '''[[
Choking occurs when, instead of getting in the zone and shutting off the thinking, the expert starts thinking about what he's doing. He starts trying to control ''everything'', trying to account for every last variable. He gets in his head and because there's just too much to think about, he can't do anything. Paralysis by analysis. Similar to the [[Centipede's Dilemma]].
