No. It’s that you’re rewarded for playing it up. If there’s a higher chance of getting a call, and no way to really stop it from happening, why would you not overplay every minor event? Especially at the higher tiers where skill gaps aren’t so noticeable.
As an athlete, not at a super high level, you function on such adrenaline so consistently, you know exactly what you’re doing. Especially if it isn’t a muscle memory response. Even during a trauma response when I broke my arm in multiple places.
Sure, some “flopping” might be trying to regain balance, but, I promise elite athletes know exactly what they’re doing.

It happens in every sport.
Here’s a compilation of American manly men being manly in our superior masculine sport
Again, not saying it doesn’t happen, i would juat imagine some of the behaviour could be accounted for by adrenaline response, it’s a crazy drug man

That makes sense, i jog regularly but would never call myself an athlete. Apreciate the perspective 🌸
