After reading the golf news of Rory McIlroy taking a few weeks off from golf to reset things in his life, I wonder if many of you ever feel the same way. Personally, if Rory needs to step away for his mental health, then I fully support him doing so. There is no sense completely burning himself out. As I tell the athletes I coached over the years, with respect to injury and mental challenges – I would rather lose you for a day than a week, a week than a month, or a month than the entire season. Taking care of ourselves (on all levels) is very important. Knowing this, have you ever stopped playing for awhile just for a rest?
