Anytime what I call the career coaches are talking about situations like burn out, it does concern me. Even though I am 46 I still consider myself relatively young, but you can age quickly if you are not careful. After a game, win or lose, I very rarely get a good night sleep and some nights I won t sleep at all. I think it is important to set aside blocks of time, to do things. Whether it is for a work out or just to relax and read a book.
Some coaches seem to get consumed by the profession.
Angela, you are absolutely right. If you watch, as the season begins to wind down, you will see coaches doing crazy things. Whether it is arguing with a referee or getting into it with an opposing coach, you see good people out of character. Fatigue, stress, pressure and other factors wear some people down. They are not the same person.
