World Cup Sex & Sports Psychology: Cenk Uygur, Sam Schacher & John Iadarola on TYT's 'At The Bar'

In this episode of TYT's "At the Bar," sponsored by Live Oak Bank (), Cenk Uygur serves up glasses of wine to "patrons" John Iadarola (host of TYTUniversity) and Sam Schacher (host of Pop Trigger) as the three discuss the psychology of sports and their experiences with sports-related rituals.

After noting that many World Cup coaches have banned their players from having sex during the tournament, Cenk asks Sam and John what pre-game rituals they engaged in during their days of competitive swimming and tennis, respectively, and if abstaining from - or engaging in - sex was part of the mix.

Along the way the three also discuss the validity of active visualization, meditation and chanting, as well as the association between war and sports, the importance of "letting go" in the moment and whether there really IS such a thing as "choking."
