The sports equipment was packed away, awaiting a practice session he had no interest in attending. The upcoming soccer tryouts were a distant, unwelcome thought. A strange form of exhaustion had taken root, making the thought of exertion unbearable. He saw a notification: Mr. Johnson, his coach, had followed him on LinkedIn.

A wave of concern washed over him. He knew the coach could see his lack of updates. The thought of the coach witnessing his inaction was a new form of discomfort. He slumped further down on the couch, the tryouts an unwelcome burden. He felt absolutely incapable of getting himself prepared.
