I agree. We fans are used to seeing obvious examples of a players psych state adversely affect performance. Every sport has examples of head cases not fulfilling talent. These people have traits that society considers negative.
Smith however is very respectable as a person not having the character flaws of others I described yet his inhibitions are his own worst enemy that does negatively affect his play. Kind of like a pga player capable of winning majors from a talent stand point yet plays it safe to get AND be happy with top 10 finishes instead of wins.
