Mental barriers in all WCA events

Does 3 points podium in MBLD? And I definitely wouldn't consider it 'professional'. Also, what was the Clock time before the edit- I'm curious?

If 3x3 is sub 8, squan should be at least sub 11, maybe sub 10

Maybe sub 15 would be more reasonable?

Just my personal thoughts, but I believe being "professional" in a event means that you are decent enough in that particular event where you can possibly podiums in local comps
It might be more precise to describe it as "mental barriers" I guess...

Yes its possible in a local comp

I think clock should be around sub 7 and 6 as it is easy to get high in the national rankings.

You have none of the mental barrier requirements.

Thats the point!

How are these barriers "mental"?

Also my subjective barriers are either:
0.01 seconds above my average,
or nil.

This is something simular to what I was thinking about

This post seems to be based on the assumption that each event has a unique, objective mental barrier. I'm not sure how that assumption makes any sense, because anything can be a mental barrier.

These are just my subjective thoughts over the mental barriers in all WCA events, feel free to share your thoughts down below

I feel this post cannot have an answer.

Mental barriers are highly subjective.

I cannot comment on all events, but for MBLD, 41 points and 60 points are insane barriers to overcome. I feel 100 points is going to be incredibly insane, and the biggest barrier in MBLD yo!
