Sports persons are only human!
Suspension of all sporting action seems to have started to take a toll on the front line performers! The global pandemic has made sure athletes have only the parking lots to keep the muscles from going limp. Or the drills that can be performed indoors help keep the mind focused on the future challenges.
Its a tough one, not knowing when sports will actually resume.
Contracts have already been shredded and binned by the hundreds.
One thing though is certain! This is not permanent and once action does resume, players will be expected to perform at optimum levels, if not at the peak. Easier said than done after months of inactivity.
USA seems to be showing the way yet again. NFL went ahead with its annual draft via video conferencing, without the usual fanfare than accompanies such big ticket events. NBA has permitted limited work-outs where possible and franchises have, albeit reluctantly, begun weighing various options.
That's what professional sports is all about!
Performance comes first. Rest is sure to follow. But yes ... life will never be the same again!
