Another interesting data point (to me) is an interview that I remember reading years ago in a magazine with (I'm almost certain) Jerry Miculek. He said that he had a bad problem with anticipation, and he conquered it by learning to pull the trigger faster than he could anticipate.
I myself have struggled with this very issue, slowly pressing the trigger and agonizing over the shot caused me to throw shots all over the place. Reading Ben Stoeger's advice to "let go" made it click for me by making me realize that if I just relaxed my mind, gripped the gun hard, and pulled the trigger straight to the rear then good things would happen.
