The reality is they don't. No professional athlete practices being "clutch." There aren't clutch exercises or things in practice. If it seems like you're clutch, it's either you're just that damned good, you're lucky, or a combination of the two. And there certainly isn't any stupid ****ing "clutch gene" out there. Skip Bayless and his horseshit belief in magic needs to die in a fire.
I'm not saying BigCatDaddy believes in that stuff either, because "clutch" is just such a common word that can mean more broadly, "Nice, he makes plays under pressure," but that's just quibbling at that point.

Some guys such as Mahomes seem to rise to occasions where Some guys like say Aaron Rodgers seem to not even of both are very talented. Some may be by luck and some may be guys just don't handle that much pressure well.
