Do you need an off-season?
Reflecting on athlete, coach and parent burn out
|
This month, many of us who are involved with youth sports are taking a deep breath… another season completed or coming to an end! If you’re a hockey parent, your team might have finished up last month, and the NHL hockey playoffs signal the end of winter and the beginning of spring/summer for you and your family. If you’re a softball parent, you’re almost to the end and are dreaming of the last weeks in the drive to the Championship. If you’re a soccer mom or dad, this spring season is almost done and summer vacation and summer camps are on your mind. Somehow, come Memorial Day, many of us heave a big sigh of relief as school sports seasons and club sports seasons come to an end.
For a bit. Because just when we think we have a break, we’re all on to the next sport, or the next season, or the next camp, or the next team! What happened to the days of an off-season?
