I am going to evaluate an experience I had with one of my former coaches. My team and I were at the end of the soccer season, and we only had a few more games to play. We had to win the next couple of games so that we would not get relegated into the lower division. Staying in the league, that we were still in, would have been a big and important success for many players, the whole club and the coach. Unfortunately, I got injured before the upcoming game. In this case the athletic trainer told me I had to decide by myself whether the pain would distract me from playing the next game. I decided not to play because I was not convinced that I would not be able to help the team under those conditions. I also did not want to risk my health at that
