Jacob's Phenomenon

The Jacob's Phenomenon describes the tendency to perform worse on a second attempt at a task, despite expectations of improvement. This effect can be attributed to overthinking, reduced adrenaline and focus, or pressure to replicate initial success. Neurological fatigue and natural variability in performance also play a role. For instance, a basketball player may sink a perfect shot on their first try but miss the next due to overanalyzing their form. While the phenomenon can be discouraging, it is typically short-lived, and consistent practice helps individuals overcome the dip and achieve steady improvement.

Oh, Luc you can't parry anymore? Must be "Jacob's Phenomenon".

Jacob

The kinda guy that would crash into another car in his highschool parking lot and drive off and then only tell one person so they could help try to fix his car with a plunger and boiling water

Me: did Jacob just drive off after kitting that care in the basin.

Yeah that’s a real Jacob move

The best hedgehog looking boi in the whole universe of club penguin. U may find him prowling the interwebs of snapchat looking for friends because although he is a god among men he is a lonely boi. Becareful when u approach said Jacob Jacob as he is a shy boi who also infact has 2 noncey mates named josh and connor that will come for u when u least expect it. Scream when u see the queen that is Jacob Jacob and stand or sit in awe when this porcupine arrives. Always remember the legend that is jacob jacob and rememeber to join out jacob jacob cult to further worship the god.
