Let’s talk about sport burnout

Sport burnout is such a serious thing. I have played soccer my entire life, and suddenly it felt like a chore to me.

I didn’t love the sport like i used to. I dreaded going to practices and games and just counting down the time until it was off season again.

That is not what sports are supposed to be like. Sports are supposed to be fun, and something you love to do.

My mental health declined so much my junior and senior year and i hated the fact that i didn’t enjoy soccer anymore. I felt as if sports in itself had failed me.

Fortunately, i joined our lacrosse team. I have such a great team that i absolutely love being around and no one is ever hateful to each other. I don’t have to worry about people talking about me behind my back, i don’t have to worry about being uncomfortable around them, they are the definition of an amazing team. This team has showed me that it doesn’t matter whether you lose or not, you do it as a team. it is not one persons fault for a loss, it’s everyone’s.
