1
Ah!
2
Why are you trying to hit me?
3
I'm trying to hit the target.
4
It's over there.
5
I know, Dingus.
6
I thought you were good at this.
7
I was.
8
Coach Dale says I have the yips.
9
It's not contagious, is it?
10
No, it happens in sports.
11
Suddenly you can't do a thing that used to be easy.
12
It doesn't sound real.
13
Then why can't I pitch anymore?
14
Ooh, perhaps it's the onset of puberty and the hysterical mood swings that go with it.
15
Dingus, house.
16
You're only proving my point.
17
You gave me your yips.
18
What?
19
I froze on a test.
20
That's never happened before.
21
It's all your fault.
22
I told you it's not contagious.
23
You put the thought in my head.
24
The power of suggestion is very real.
25
Case in point, tulip mania.
26
Here we go.
27
Tulip mania was an insane desire to buy and trade tulip bulbs in the 1600s.
28
It nearly ruined the Dutch economy.
29
You would not believe the guilders they were spending.
30
How can you remember this stupid information but not the stuff on your test?
31
You tell me, they're your yips.
32
Sheldon, if I knew how to make it stop, I would tell you.
33
You better.
34
Maybe it's puberty making you all emotional.
35
I check my armpits smoothest balloons!
36
Ugh.
37
The best thing to do is get out of your head.
38
How do I do that?
39
You just turn your brain off.
40
It's like I'm not even your son.
41
Look, I know you don't respect what I do as a coach.
42
Maybe you do know me.
43
But this is the thing I actually know about.
44
I've seen it happen to my players.
45
I've seen it happen to pros in golf, in baseball.
46
The answer's always the same.
47
Stop thinking and get out of your own way.
48
I don't know how to do that.
49
I decided to heed my father's advice.
50
I wasn't sure how to turn off my brain.
51
Thankfully, I live with an expert.
52
What's up?
53
I've never really thought about not thinking before.
54
Well, I'm asking you to think about it.
55
But I thought you were interested in not thinking.
56
I am.
57
I want you to think about not thinking and then teach me how to do it. Do what?
58
Not think.
59
All right.
60
This is tough.
61
I'm good at not thinking, but I don't think I can teach you how to not think without thinking.
62
Well, thank you for trying.
63
Hold on.
64
What if you're thinking about something else instead?
65
Would that count as thinking or not thinking?
66
I suppose it's similar to the mantras extolled by the sages of the East.
67
It's a practice that Swami Vivekananda called Japa Yoga, and it's intended to bring out a single pointedness of concentration.
68
Sorry, I zoned out.
69
Ooh, tell me how.
70
Let's see.
71
You were blabbering, it all started to blur together, and I was gone.
72
At what point did it start to happen?
73
I don't know.
74
Say it again.
75
I said, I suppose it's similar to the mantras extolled by the sages of the East.
76
It's a practice that Swami Vivekananda called Japa Yoga. That is wild.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
