Episode 3: Experiencing Burnout

In this episode of Athletes Mind, we talk about athlete burnout, the mental and emotional exhaustion that so many athletes experience but rarely talk about honestly. Joined by a former basketball player who ultimately chose to walk away from the sport, we discuss pressure, perfectionism, athletic identity, chronic stress, and what happens when the thing you once loved starts to feel overwhelming. This conversation dives into the psychology behind burnout, self-worth, motivation, and learning who you are outside of performance
