When your body feels fine but your mind’s exhausted — that’s still fatigue.⁠ ⁠ Athlete burnout isn’t always physical.⁠ Sometimes the hardest weight to carry is the pressure you put on yourself.⁠ ⁠ Here’s your reminder:⁠ • You’re allowed to take a step back⁠ • You don’t need to earn rest⁠ • Progress isn’t always linear⁠ • Mental recovery is just as vital as physical⁠ ⁠ You can train like a machine and still be human.⁠ Listen to your mind like you listen to your muscles — both need care, recovery, and space to grow.⁠ ⁠ Strong athletes aren’t just built in the gym.⁠ They’re built in moments of stillness, too.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ ⁠ #AthleteMindset #MentalRecoveryMatters
