Youth Sport Burnout Trends
Although not always tracked in industry reports, broader sports participation data and coaching communities are increasingly focused on burnout related to early specialization, high training loads, and performance pressure. Parents, coaches, and trainers alike are recognizing the need for varied, interest-driven youth movement experiences.
Fitness professionals working with young athletes or parents can support participation through diversified movement, play-based sessions, and communication about long-term engagement over immediate performance.
