Burnout and overtraining are forcing young athletes to drop out of sports, new report reveals

Fox News
Saturday, February 3, 2024 11:51 AM GMT

With approximately 70% of teenagers and children dropping out of organized sports by the age of 13, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics, experts chime in on potential reasons.

Given the growing trend of young athletes participating on multiple teams at the same time while training year-round, pediatricians told Fox News Digital they're seeing more cases of burnout and stress injuries at young age. "The old saying ‘no pain, no gain’ doesn’t necessarily hold true." A New York pediatric orthopedic surgeon said he is seeing spine stress fractures about 10 times a month. "I tell parents and kids that if you’re playing one sport for more hours of a week than your age, you’re doing too much of that sport." Amy McGorry is a contributing health writer for Fox News Digital. Follow her on Twitter @amymcgorry.

"Burnout is real and it’s something that parents and coaches have to be attuned to," Dr. James Barsi, a pediatric orthopedic surgeon at Stony Brook Children's Hospital on Long Island, New York, who is not affiliated with the AAP report, said to Fox News Digital.
