My thoughts on motivation, stress and burnout in athletes. I share information to help you identify what could be going on, how to potentially prevent burnout, and what to do if / when it happens.
Love this, “Stop glorifying doing too much, having it, trying to be perfect, or the best at everything. Its not amazing, its not cool and it certainly not something to strive towards as it is not attainable, and even if it is, it is unlikely to be sustainable.” 🙌🏻
Thanks for the comment Rich. I definitely learned about this the hard way and I while I am a lot better with it all these days, I still get dangerously close to burnout more often than ideal.
I hear you! Just been sick after getting excited about riding a new bike a lot. Reading this, it was the intensity and volume in such a short period of time that did me over!
