The Jordan Poole Effect

Definition

The mysterious phenomenon where your performance inexplicably skyrockets when attractive people are watching—apparently competence and confidence are directly proportional to how many 'baddies' are in attendance.

Example Usage

I played terribly in practice, but once she showed up to watch, the Jordan Poole Effect kicked in and I suddenly remembered how to dribble.
