Key Point: Specialization introduces multiple stressors that affect mental health and function and may increase the risk for burnout. This may be confounded by altered sleep, increased drive for elite status, and perfectionistic personality types. https://t.co/lRSFQOJylC https://t.co/n2hMWhrlU1

Key Conclusion: The signs and symptoms of burnout in young athletes can be vague and difficult to detect. Clinicians must be attentive to the possible diagnosis of burnout in young athletes with vague symptoms and decreased academic performance. https://t.co/lRSFQOJylC
