[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, my U14 DS just asked me the same thing. He’s not DA but one step below. But burnout is burnout. I’m going to respect his self-awareness and let him take a break for a season. We’ll reassess after that. I know that if he wants to re-enter the sport at that point at whatever level, he’ll be mentally healthier, which may in the end make him a better player. If he really wants to go all in at that point, he’ll be more motivated to work hard and play his best. We really just want him happy, balanced and playing because he loves it. So a break could be the best thing that could happen for him. [/quote]

So-is the team down a man in the spring because he’s dropping out midseason?[/quote]

No, there’s a replacement lined up. But even so, the team deserves a player who will give his all. DS is not there right now so even if they were a man down it’s better for everyone if he takes a break. I’m also not going to force him to do something that’s making him miserable and anxious and ignore his mental health. I know what you’re implying here but believe me, we had a full-on discussion about honoring commitments, etc. before he left.[/quote]
