This is represented in the game by Attitude and Conditioning. The moment the previous game is over, you can see a player's Conditioning for the next game; it's a bit of a "crystal ball" but it gives you time to do something about it.
So just what can you do about it?
There are two approaches for dealing with bad Conditioning: short term and long term.
For the short term, if you see a player with low Conditioning and you need him at his best, you can set his Drills to C for "Conditioning". Your coaches and trainers will be on him all week and he will show up for the game at 100% Conditioning, and may show improvements in Health and Stamina as well.
For the long term, you can set his drills to D for Discipline. This won't do anything about his Conditioning for this week, but he will may improvements in Attitude, Execution and Hands; he may also see reductions in Aggressiveness. The long-term approach is more useful in multi-season leagues.

Sometimes you just have an awesome player, but he's more focused on himself than the team. For whatever reason, he just doesn't put in the work during the week; he's spending his evenings with cheerleaders at a club, working in his endorsements and side projects, and come Sunday he is just not at his A-Game.

:
1) Of all of my players training discipline, I haven't seen one with an IC in attitude, and I have 27 players training discipline.
2) This is sort of a catch-22, as players with a low attitude will also receive fewer drill ICs, meaning it will be extremely slow going at the beginning, and may not be worth it even if you start him at 20yo.

Two things on discipline training:
1) Of all of my players training discipline, I haven't seen one with an IC in attitude, and I have 27 players training discipline.
2) This is sort of a catch-22, as players with a low attitude will also receive fewer drill ICs, meaning it will be extremely slow going at the beginning, and may not be worth it even if you start him at 20yo.

So, I assume this is a trade-off? Improved attitude, execution and hands, but loss of aggressiveness. Is aggressiveness contributing to the players problem? What is the downside to loss of aggressiveness, if any?
Aggressiveness.

More aggressiveness might lead to more turnovers, but it can also lead to more penalties and giving up bigger plays.

I'll check the Discipline improves to make sure they are working properly. and look into a solution for the catch-22.

Aggressiveness controls actual physical aggression, patience, and risk-taking. Aggressiveness overall leads to more penalties and more injuries(usually to the opponent). An aggressive QB will have more interceptions but fewer sacks, and attempt more longer passes (the less-aggressive QB will checkdown to a nearer receiver if he deems it too risky to go to the primary receiver). It's the sort of thing that's good to have high but not too high.I'll check the Discipline improves to make sure they are working properly. and look into a solution for the catch-22.
