Positive Sports Tip for Today and Everyday

Burnout in Sports
Here are some signs of athletic burnout that parents should watch for when raising an athlete. Burnout usually occurs from one of three things. 1. Over-playing – one sport, games and practice combined. 2. Over-sporting, too many sports at one time. 3. Over-expecting – expectations are too high, either from others or self, players can become burned out trying to reach the unreachable. Things to watch for – easily angered player, inattentive player, non-respectful player, very unmotivated – and these are occurring when the player never showed these tendencies before.
