Sports Injury and Team Psychology
Article: When a Severe Injury Shakes a Team to Its Heart Sports New York Times Sunday September 23, 2012
Key Ideas: When a sever injury happens to a sports team member, the entire team feels the impact. The drive to press on, concern about the injured teammate, loss of focus, and worries of personal vulnerability and just some of the reactions. The article includes a dramatic story of the psychological effects on a team member serving as a mold for a body cast for a injured and paralyzed teammate. It was for that team member a "glimpse of a life he did not want to know."
