The Hidden Cost of "More Training" in Youth Sports

More training only helps when it's intentional. Without recovery, reflection, and coordination, added volume increases fatigue, injury risk, and burnout. Development comes from adaptation — not nonstop repetition.
Key Takeaways
- Fatigue often looks like lost motivation
- Recovery is part of training
- Reflection turns reps into progress
- Less volume with better structure wins
