Answer 1

A research study using athletic trainers found that the number one psychological reason that athletes do not cope well with injury was too much anxiety.

Option C

Explanation:

When getting injured athletes are highly excited about their recovery and this anxiety is the primary reason is lack of improvement. The problem is that they are highly tensed about their career and their performance.

Also, they are highly concerned about their performance after the injury and thoughts like will they ever be able to recover. Sometimes they start believing that the injury is a full stop on their career, so this is the reason why they don't cope well with injuries.
