Burnout

Some ways to prevent burnout

• Work on extending a technique.  If the class is working on a specific technique, explore what follow-ups may exist and add combinations to the technique. Do the technique higher, harder, and faster than others in the class.
• Mentally consider yourself in competition with other in the class. Always try to do more and do better than everyone else.
• Take some time off. Do not let the demands of teaching take up all your time. 
• Try some new sport to practice on the side.

When it comes to burnout, remember that you are not alone. Anyone who has trained for many years has faced it at some point, so when it happens to you, to not be afraid to ask for help in getting through it.
