athlete burnout
what causes burnout?
For athletes, there are a few theories:
- Excessive pressure to train, perform, and win
- Overtraining with little recovery time
- Shift from intrinsic (having fun, learning new skills, making friends) to extrinsic (medals, scholarships, endorsements) motivation
