Burnout complex, psychophysiological reaction to the increasing intensity of athletic training superimposed on everyday stresses of life Three components: Emotional/Physical exhaustion Depersonalization (a feeling of just going through the motions – not caring) Decreased feelings of competence and control Burnout complex, psychophysiological reaction to the increasing intensity of athletic training superimposed on everyday stresses of life Three components: Emotional/Physical exhaustion Depersonalization (a feeling of just going through the motions – not caring) Decreased feelings of competence and control

Realizing that one’s self-concept and identity is becoming overconstricted (e.g., Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy) Perceived stress / fear of failure / loss of control Sport entrapment (too much invested to quit, but experiencing low satisfaction) Realizing that one’s self-concept and identity is becoming overconstricted (e.g., Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy) Perceived stress / fear of failure / loss of control Sport entrapment (too much invested to quit, but experiencing low satisfaction)
