Burnout in sports is a state of physical and mental exhaustion caused by excessive training, stress, and high expectations. It leads to fatigue, decreased performance, and loss of motivation. Overtraining, pressure from coaches and parents, and lack of recovery contribute to this condition. Burnout can result in injuries, anxiety, and even quitting the sport. Preventing burnout requires balanced training, adequate rest, and a supportive environment. Recognizing early signs and promoting mental well-being help athletes sustain performance and enjoy their sport long-term. Maintaining a healthy balance is essential for both success and personal fulfillment.
