TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers All-Pro Tristan Wirfs said Friday that the move from right to left tackle this spring became a source of such debilitating anxiety that he began seeing team sports psychologist Dr. Joe Carella for help.
"It seems like so minuscule, like oh, you're just flipping sides, but I was like having breakdowns about it," Wirfs said. "I'm like, 'I can't sit here with these thoughts anymore. I'm just kind of setting myself up for failure.' I would just think about, 'I am going to suck,' or like, 'I am not going to be able to do it,' all day long.
