Usually associated with professional sports, the "Sophomore jinx" (or Sophomore slump) refers to the observation that athletes often perform surprisingly well in their first season of competition, but rarely do as well in their second, or sophomore, season. The "Sophomore Jinx" term is also used in areas outside of professional sports, such as bands (sophomore album), and television shows.
