What’s The Science Behind A Super Bowl Win? A Sports Psychologist Explains.

Think the Super Bowl is just about million-dollar commercials and questionable halftime shows? Think again—this sporting spectacular doubles as history's most-watched psychological experiment, where elite athletes either shine or shatter under soul-crushing pressure.
