Athlete burnout

Athlete burnout is a state of physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion caused by prolonged or intense training and competition. It often leads to decreased motivation, performance decline, and feelings of fatigue or frustration. Factors such as excessive pressure, lack of rest, and high expectations can contribute. Burnout not only affects athletic performance but can also impact overall well-being, causing athletes to feel disengaged or overwhelmed. Addressing burnout involves balancing training, ensuring adequate rest, and managing stress to help athletes recover and maintain a healthy, sustainable approach to their sport.
