Squash and short-term thinking

01/03/2010 - James B. Duke, a Professor of Behavioral Economics at Duke University plays squash and ponders the theory as to whether being physically tired in a game makes us forget our long-term memory and thus become more susceptible to making mistakes.
James writes:

I am not a serious athlete, but I do like playing squash from time to time. What I mostly like about squash is that it is a game of strategy, where each player tries to build an advantage over multiple shots. First you get your opponent to run to the right, then you get them to run to the front left … and as the game progresses, they (hopefully) get behind the ball, their shots become worse, until at some point it is possible to finish the point! Of course when you are the one that runs from side to side and trying to get back into control – the game is much less fun.
