Nah, I think he’s a very good example. He’s tough as nails and a competitor and doesn’t want to use injury as an excuse to not compete. In those situations it’s on the coaches to not let the player get in his own way. But it also brings an interesting perspective because sometimes the coaches can only work with the info they’re given. If players want to hide their pain they may not know they’re hurting. Gotta be a tough environment for players to prove they’re tough as nails while also doing the responsible thing and not put your team in a bind.
