Dontrelle Willis On The DL, Disabled List That Is

For sports fans injuries to their favorite players are just part of the game. Sprains, breaks, and tears, are things that are known to keep players out of the game, but in Detroit right now something very different is happening. Former Rookie of the Year and current Detroit Tigers pitcher Dontrelle Willis formerly known as the “D-Train ” has been placed on the 15-day disabled list (DL) with an anxiety disorder. This is a problem that millions of Americans deal with but only recently has it penetrated the normally macho professional sports world.
Willis was placed on the DL at the end of last year for the same thing, but this time he claims that he doesn’t have it and he is just playing badly. The anxiety originally stemmed from Willis’ inability to find the strike zone while pitching. This is where the story gets kind of puzzling . Forget baseball for a second and think of what you do for a living. If your boss is going to assume that every time you make a mistake that it is a previous anxiety disorder wouldn’t it cause more anxiety?
Since anxiety is not a physical ailment it is much harder to prove then normal sports injuries, and maybe what Willis needs most is a vote of confidence from his team. Regardless of what is causing his struggles it is sad to see a player who used to have star potential suddenly play so terribly. Maybe his struggles will open the eyes of more people out there with anxiety disorders.
