And many others in real life who works as athletes have this mindset too. This is very realistic too. Think of Nadal the tennist
still, it doesnt change my mind. Like i thought he got his jinx because of some kind of abuse, you know
Wait wdym, that he got abused into thinking he had a jinx?
he has bad childhood and i thought that someone abused him sexually, so thats how he got his jinx. I was thinking that untill i saw the real reason, which not gonna lie it dissapointed me
Idk Rick with all the abuse he went through I'm glad the author did not go for that and that i didn't have to see such thing 0_0
yeah, but it was stupid, at least for me
Actually, his jinx is a routine that he had to adopt to ease his mind from trauma to perform better at a match. All of this was to forget about his father and all the trauma he suffers from, hence why, before a match, he drinks milk (which he used to steal and was most likely precious to him), makes sure to be clean (he got bullied by other kids for that) and has sex (it's stimulating and apparently works great against the nightmares he has about his father). When you say the reason of his jinx is stupid, I have to disagree because his jinx actually includes all the other traumas I mentioned before. It just so happens that sex is effective on him.
so what, he got this jinx just because he lost few matches when he was young? Thats stupid
