An old adage in sports is that players have a hard time trusting themselves after injury. It isn’t apples to apples, but when you touch a hot stove with your hand and get burned, then the next time you are near the stove in similar circumstances you are bound to have a higher level of caution, right? Pain is a teaching tool, and when we apply this general principle to football, it stands to reason that after a player hurts something doing a particular activity that they will carry a bit of hesitancy towards doing it in the future.
