When injured athletes feel worthless it is sometimes because coaches believe the best way to foster a

rapid recovery from injury is to make injured athletes:

A. feel unimportant

B. feel humiliated by older players

C. learn to give up easily

D. being told to take time off for minor injuries

A). Feel Unimportant

When athletes are injured, coaches often do things that make the injured athlete feel unimportant because they do not want them playing or making the injury worse. This leads to the players feeling worthless while they are injured, as they feel that their coach is ignoring them and their skills.
