Reply to comment by Mike_Litoris_Hertz in Athletes check their well-being health before participating in any sporting event or in practice. by Hopeful-Ad1887

Yeah, I'm an advocate for athletic well-being. Some athletes take their time to recover from injuries to their bodies and minds, and that breaks my heart.

While intentionally pushing yourself to and beyond the point of serious injury is never a good idea, the whole point of athletics is to develop both mental and physical toughness. Doing so requires that a top tier athlete trains hard every day regardless of weather they want to or not. Short term pain for long term gain.
