Experiencing mental fatigue can often be a sign of a mental health disorder. This might result in:
- difficulties maintaining concentration,
- a decrease in attention,
- difficulty remembering things,
- and short term memory loss.
You can’t solely rely on physical form to perform well, if your ability to concentrate is not as good as it usually is, then delivering a strong performance may be challenging. In football, for example, you may be more susceptible to injury during a training session when you are preoccupied or when your mind is elsewhere.
