This paper introduces the Guessing game, a game characterized by a single unique Nash equilibrium (NE) in mixed strategies. Furthermore, this game is shown to be important in most sports activities. Finally, central parts of sport psychology research are shown to neglect the existence of the Guessing game. The paper hence concludes by questioning the value of such research.
