Winter blues claimmore than just your attention as the season slowly winds down. Unfortunately for many athletes, this also causes a decline in their skill levels and abilities, and

as the first rays of sunshine peak through spring clouds, anxious athletes are often caught overworking their bodies to the point of exhaustion and injury.

It’s common to be rusty after a long winter of bundling up and staying off the course or field, but it’s important to remember to take the beginning of the spring season slowly. You may not be able to hit home runs just yet, but you can continually work your way up to, and past, last season’s skill level.
