Did you ever play sports? Do you still play them? Did you quit playing them because you got "burnt out" on them?
In my experience "burnout" = getting your teeth kicked in, your ### handed to you all the time, and watching the game from the bench a lot because you didn't put the work in when it mattered, usually because your parents were afraid you would "burnout" someday.
From my experience...people don't burn out because they lose or sit on bench. Dick Vermil and john madden didn't quit because they were losing, but stress and doing nothing but one thing which for them was coaching football, caused a burn out.
Kids or parent burn out because they start traveling at age 10 all over US playing ball. They become consumed with one sport and they don't have an outlet. I see kids feeling "burnt out" in college from work load of academic and sport..I see my DD starting at 6AM and not coming into her dorm at 10Pm couple times a week.
