Some of the students who struggle most in physics are the smartest ones in the room. They understand lectures, follow examples, and succeed in other difficult classes—yet physics refuses to cooperate.

That struggle is not bad luck.
And it’s not a contradiction.

Physics doesn’t reward intelligence the way other classes do. It rewards structure, execution, and trained decision-making under uncertainty.

In this video, I break down five hidden traps that smart students fall into—and why intelligence alone doesn’t translate into physics performance.

If physics feels personal, frustrating, or inconsistent, this explains why.

Train the basics. Build your foundation. Let consistency become your advantage.
