In today’s society, highly-driven young athletes often struggle with overtraining syndrome. Children are often surrounded by the hype of sports and it is easy to see how a young athlete could push overtraining burnout young athletes themselves too far in their quest to be a great athletes.

As one would expect, when I playfully ask my young patients what they aspire to be when they grow up, a large number respond that they dream of being an Olympic or professional athlete. While this is a worthwhile and lofty positive goal, there can occasionally be a downside. Many young athletes will take training and competing too far.

Young athletes who develop burnout typically share specific characteristics or experiences. These risk factors include:

-Early sports specialization – focusing on one sport from a young age
-Playing one sport, but competing on multiple teams during a season
-Overlapping seasons without intervals of rest
-Year-round participation without an “off-season”
-“Type A” personality including ambitious, determined, driven, intense
-Low self-esteem and high anxiety levels
-Parental or coaching pressure to train and compete at a higher level

However, burnout is avoidable and treatable. Reducing the chance of burnout can start with these strategies:

-Periodization: a process of varying the training stimulus to promote long-term fitness gains and avoid overtraining. The year as a whole is taken into consideration and divided up into phases. In each phase, the workout emphasizes a specific type of training. Periodization can also be placed in the span of a single week.
-Cross-training by varying workouts to focus on conditioning, weight lifting, strength training, flexibility, or core strengthening
-Focus on proper sport technique
-Slow progression and avoid a rapid increase in workload or intensity
-Proper injury treatment and rehabilitation
-Emphasis on sports as tools for fun, sportsmanship, fitness, skill acquisition, safety, or education
