[quote=Anonymous]It seems to me that burnout is something that happens when parents are not paying attention to their kids and ignore their cues and requests. A kid who loves swim practice on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday doesn’t wake up on Thursday with burnout. Rather, the kid has been dragging their feet for a few months, has not been enjoying meets, has asked the parents if they can skip a few practices and they were pushed to continue. And those cues and signs can be completely unrelated to results. I have seen cases where the parents are proudly posting results on Facebook, telling friends and family how much their kid loves to swim, and identifying their kid as “Larlo the swimmer”. Meanwhile, the kid is telling their friends that they hate it and want to quit. An easy solution is to have a true off season, not just a few weeks of break after long or short course. [/quote]
