Honestly, who said it isn't over until it's over? Technically there is not a name attached to this common saying. However, Hall of Fame baseball legend Yogi Berra once said, "it ain't over till it's over". Yogi is right, just because your backs are against the wall does not mean you have to fold. Bite the bullet and face the challenge, just like the Kansas City Royals did  in their exciting playoff series comeback against the Astros. Quick recap, the Royals were down 2-1 in the series and facing elimination in the 7th inning against the Astros AT Houston.

Its pretty much automatic, its what we were told in school as kids, its what we see on television and movies, its the "standard". What if I told you thats wrong? What if I told you stretching is bad for you before you go out and play? You must think I'm crazy for saying that...
