In this episode, we’re tackling a topic that doesn’t get talked about enough—the mental side of burnout and overtraining. Too many young athletes are feeling the pressure to always be in the gym, always be competing, and always be “grinding.” But at what cost?

We break down:
🔥 The mental warning signs of burnout—lack of motivation, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion
💭 How overtraining can drain passion and turn the game into a job instead of a love
🛑 The pressure athletes feel to "keep up" and why the fear of falling behind is hurting more than helping
🔄 How to find the right balance between pushing for success and protecting mental well-being
💡 Why taking a step back can actually lead to more growth in the long run

If you’re a coach, parent, or athlete feeling the weight of constant training, competition, and expectations—this one’s for you. Let’s talk about the mental game and how to make sure athletes are built for the long run.
