clutch gene

An expression to describe an athlete's ability to perform well at the end of the game when there is a lot of pressure. In basketball it can mean hitting the game winning shot as the time expires. In football it can mean a QB leading his team on a game winning drive in the fourth quarter. In baseball it can mean hitting a walk-off home run. In Hockey...well only Canadians care about hockey.

"Dwayne Wade will always be the leader of the Heat because unlike Lebron James, Wade has the clutch gene!" -Skip Bayless
