I'd heard and read about the "hot hand" effect being a fallacy in a lot of places. It never made sense to me. I'm glad it is finally getting debunked.
Anyone who has played sports for a length of time would likely say that they feel more in control of their body at certain times. It could be because the brain chemistry becomes temporarily balanced, reducing anxiety, so their brain doesn't distract them as much. It could be a lingering pain/headache suddenly disappearing so it no longer becomes a physical distraction. It could be something directly related to muscle control, like minor tremors going away giving you more direct control over your body. In the case of sports with "fine tuning" like basketball where if you feel you are shooting short, you make the change to put more strength into it to "hone in" on the basket and start hitting shots. So, there are definitely times where you not only feel more capable of doing what you need to do over a short period of time. Due to current circumstances, you actually are more capable.
