I've spent a lot of time studying the mathematics and physics of pool. While that is vaguely useful to a handful of players, it's mostly just a delightful waste of time. On the other hand, psychology and biomechanics are very neglected in our sport, but probably much more useful. Now that I'm back in the real world for a while, away from my other passion--rock climbing--I thought I'd post links in this thread to items in those fields as I find them.
Feel free to add your own.
A good start is this one on emotions from NYC Grind:

P.S.: You have an open invite to climb with me if you are in Kentucky...you might have to sign a Bob-didn't-cause-my-death waver, look at gory photos, and listen to the story about my fall, and the experimental surgery that let me walk (and climb) after 4 months in a wheelchair. *grin*
