Whether you're a one sport or multi-sport athlete in high school, now is the time to plan out how the summer months will be spent working out, playing ball, or taking a mental break to get ready for what's next.

To play through an injury or not? That's a question many athletes at any level ask themselves from high school to the professional ranks and trying to figure out what to do can take a mental toll.

It's tougher than you may think playing high school athletics as well as junior college and at higher institutions as well, in part because the size of the competition gets smaller and tougher as you move up.

The Covid-19 pandemic has become especially draining mentally for athletes and coaches with no practices or games to take part in right now or in the immediate future. They're now trying to find ways to prepare for an uncertain future.
