This channel is so underrated I can speak from experience when it comes to burnout and exhaustion, which leads to injury I'm 24, but my body has the miles of an average 35 year old on it.

As a Barca fan, the injuries to our young core of Gavi, Fati and Pedri has haunted us and will likely impact our other youngsters, in Fermin, Guiu and Yamal. Yamal I'm especially worried about with the amount of players that can play in his position.

Alexis Sanchez comes to mind with how he played to how much he played and had a big drop off at a young age

it is not just sports. other career fields out there as well. I work in the trade and I work about 50-60 hours per week 5-6 days a week. I feel the burnout effect on me. the stress, the tiring body and the long hours get to you physically and mentally, from my point of view the mental stress is harder to cope than the body stress. as the new decades come in, the work hours increase more, and most workers are fed with the "you got to work harder and longer" mindset. Nurses, most trades workers, construction workers and many other fields suffer the effect. Lots of suicide in the male population between the age of 30 to 50s.

sports are turning to a more japanese work culture rather than a fun past time

Brilliant. You have a new subscriber. Both Arteta and Southgate play Saka in every meaningless game. And he's too polite to say no. I remember Henry playing injured and Petit being publicly pilloried for refusing to play when not fully fit. This isn't new but sadly its getting worse. Its about time the PL had a winter break and reduced the number of teams.

They are viewed as a product of the game..they better perform or get replaced. You see it well in the NFL and baseball. Players need to speak more about being treated like a robot !

Rooney is a bad example fergie in his book spoke about how long it took for him to get fit and how irregular his body was.

Same, as a kid who played , training 5 times a week with two-three games a week over the course of 6 years just killed my knees and back.

This is the video we’ve needed all season. All the extra games, additional minutes to extra time, the stop-start nature of the games bc of long VAR checks that are, more often than not, debatable at best… I fear for the future of football honestly.

Awesome video bro, I think the football industry does forget that the players are human. Like you mentioned at companies people need goals ect to stay motivated, but in football you just keep playing until you can’t anymore, clubs don’t work on the psychology side with the players to make sure their motivation is peak. And I’m sure a lot of the time they would find with low motivation players is burn out, due to too much game time or too little, as well as the cut throat culture of the industry. Really great video made me think about a lot of things. As a pro player myself I’ve been thru this and seen so many talented players fade out over the years. The industry just puts them to the side saying “they have lost their hunger” and leave it at that. Where as in reality clubs need to put stuff in place to keep track of players motivation and burn out. The fact we see it so much shows something is wrong and innovation is ready to happen in the sport to change it

I mean it makes sense, these clubs don`t care about these players, the league and the clubs only really care about making money, so obviously players will get played too much. only anamolies like Cr7, Messi and LeBron James can play so much and still eb relatively healthy, due to great genetics, diet and training, athlets don`t tend to have the longevity of the likes of Cr7, Messi and LeBron James. it is far more common for players to end their careers quickly due to injuries like what happened with Michael Owen, R9, and the likes of Charles Barkley. Either the injuries tend to massively lower their quality as players or they simply cannot play anymore, Modern medicine has off-set some of this, helping athletes return and recover some of their levels. while Saka is a great athlete, regardless of what type of training you perform the body needs to rest, so while Saka as a genetic freak can off-set some of this, but Saka plays a lot of games, he plays a lot in training wheter for Arsenal or England, along side this Saka likely performs some type of strength training and weight training along with all of the cardio he performs. This puts a ton of pressure on the body.

Great video. I hope artetas Arsenal can sign a new rw or play reiss or Jesus on that wing more often. Our star boy doesn’t deserve to be ran into ground. Lately he has become to predictable and it’s also going to hurt us in the second half of this season. We have to switch it up.

Great video. This pb really needs to be addressed. Too many players, esp. top ones, are injured. But it doesn't address the physicality of the game. More and more brutal fouls that refs are not addressing. We fans are the ones, in addition to the players, who suffer bc we're deprived of our favourite players. And it can shorten the careers of top players. I don't know why FIFA doesn't do something. I guess it's bc of the money involved.

Rashford is gonna be a prime example of this, sadly he’s already well over 30000 minutes at 26

Great vid, as a semi-pro and amateur futsal player for the past 10 years I think this is what I'm experiencing. I'm 32 now and have played on average 6 games of futsal a week for those 10 years and have started to lose that immeasurable fire in the belly to compete. To give it some perspective only 2 years ago I couldn't get enough of it and at times would play 8-10 games a week. It's hard to say for sure though since I lost my grandma 6 months ago who was like a 2nd mum to me I lived with her my whole life

This is why the super league is such a devastating decision

Not everyone is built like Ronaldo or Lebron James. Every player’s bodies are built different. Ronaldo or lebron is the exception and should not be the example. They are an outlier. No amount of medicine and training and determination and consistency will get to you the same level like Ronaldo or lebron.

It's the system. Owners want more money, which means forcing players to play more games. Have they even asked players about more playing time? Let the players decide, educate them about the risks. Great video.

Wow truly amazed at what ur putting out rn, thought this was a massive channel because the quality,keep up the great work 🙏

Great video my man! Definitely wided my views on this topic. I appreciate every video of yours! Cheers & great festive days to you all.

brilliant video great insight

a very good video u did alot of research and i love it

awesome video mate, loads of research into the science of burnout with a clever connection to sports and performance.

An excellent video, really purposeful and relevant 👏

Bukayo Saka literally got upset that he was subbed off at the 60th min in the 6-0 win over Lens

Well edited and deserves more views bro, nice 💪💪

amazing video! I think thé amont of games should drastically be reduced. The amount of money in the industry aswell. The superleague, new CL etc. are a ton of examples which point in the wrong direction. By the way it‘s not only football. In cycling the top teer riders get younger and younger but I doubt their carreers will endure for that long.

Nice content❤❤

Great vid

Good video

Bueno video amigo

Very true, how good would it be if all pointless competitions like FA Cup, EFL Cup, Euro, and other similar cup competitions are abolished? Just stick to local leagues (EPL, La Liga, Seria A, Bundesliga, League 1,), Champions League, and the World Cup, that's it.

You have no idea how i get happy when players get suspended with yellow cards and have to miss a game. Players need rest. Like Dalot and Fernandes need to be rested. This durability should not be exploited

Everyone thought Eric Cantona was a looney when he did his speech 5 years ago. Look who literally predicted the future.

Hes burnt out at the end of the last couple seasons now, most of the first team has that's why last season they kept blowing leads or players would "go missing" Saka was non existent towards the end of last season yet Arteta was going to do anything to force him on the field. I'm not even an arsenal fan but I can see that if Saka ends up getting fatigued towards the end of the season again it'll be the same story. Everything good at arsenal comes via him because Ødegaard goes missing when it matters most. I also feel like its one of the reasons. Not ever player can do what ronaldo did most seasons at Madrid where they all seemed to push even harder towards the end of the season and won 3 champions leagues in a row. At the current rate in England most top teams play around 50/60 games at least a season and Arsenal don't really have good first team replacements so they end up heavily relying on Saka and others whereas Liverpool have decent replacements Man City pretty much have like for like replacements and players who can play multiple positions they don't even really need a striker tbh but Håland is still exactly what they need. Newcastle have struggled this season because of their lack of replacements for their first team of players who are ready for the level. It's good that you mentioned Pedri because he's been a perfect example of of what happens when you don't allow players to rest and so his body is suffering now after playing the most matches of anyone his age a couple seasons ago

This happened to Gavi and he was 19, bro 19, and we got punished for it 😔 it wasn't mainly barca fault, the Spanish coach started him on a useless match for no reason

This is a societal issue

All sportsball players are utterly and immediately replacable. Thousands of young talented guys ready to take their spots

This video makes me appreciate Messi and Ronaldo even more

They really need 8-10 weeks off between league play and international play.

Sounds like Saka needs to start binging some David Goggins to increase drive, performance, and longevity. Who's gonna carry the boats and the logs?!!

I've always wondered why NFL teams will draft highly productive college Quarterbacks that get labeled as "system Quarterbacks" then intentionally not change their system to suit that QB's skillset. You're picking a guy to (presumptively) be the face, and future of your franchise, and staking the chance of you winning (and profiting even more), to somebody that you won't even give every opportunity to be the best they can be. . .

I dont know about other sports but football could use like a max minute per season a player can play across the entire season or x hours of rest after a game. We can see a lot of high level footballers play 2 games a week for majority of the season and in some cases 3 games a week which definitely cant be sustained.

If Uefa keeps adding matches footballers gonna play 100 games/year. Avr 3-4 days between the matches.

7:29 CR7 and messi hold my beer

Too many games!

I sometimes wonder how did messi and Ronaldo avoid such Predicaments. They played at the highest level for over a decade

This is what happened to hazard 😢

arsenal needs to get a replacement for saka asap

Laughing in the distance running

❤

Hazard wasnt burnout. When he actually tried to take training seriously especially in real madrid his body wasnt cooperative due to him not training correctly throughout his whole career so his body’s threshold was low due to his own actions

You can’t just take one player experience ( I am talking about Ronny)and conclude that to be the reality for everyone. Players this days play more game but have top tier science, chef, physio and all the monitoring that would help them extended there career. Some players follow the science and do the right thing aka Ronaldo hence his longevity. Whereas other players just drink away there early 20s and not respect science as much aka Roony and this players will not succeed longer than 10 years.

No papers, no references, no point of watching this video

Im gonna buy wolerhampton fc

But then they get paid crazy money every week so no complains here they need to earn the money by playing at least 2 matches a week

It's pronounced Premier

ur a Tottenham fan? boys

“Saka one of the best players in the world” HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Saka really isnt one of the best in the world. He is very good. But thats wayy overblown.

Saka chokes under pressure... great win against West Ham today Arsenal fans... oh wait, you lost 2-0 at home....

Seems you just used cherry picked examples to prove your point What about players like Ronaldo,Muller, Messi,Benzema,Lewandowski Players will inevitably drop off over time and modern athletes have access to better physios and such And besides it's not like more games won't get them more money so what's the issue here

Fatigue comes from the 💉

So use hgh , test, clen, tren, anabol like your pfp chris. Losers always need to cheat.

Best player…he’s struggling this season lmao 🤣

Just shows that players aren’t actually fit enough to be playing the professional game

In the end, it doesn't really matter cause they are being payed millions of dollars/euros/pounds etc, to be playing at a top level.

Good video overall. However there is no such thing as game fatigue. If the players are healthy and do the right things there is minimal risk of injury

saka is the most bland winger i’ve ever seen

Another title: Capitalism ruins sport.

This video is ridiculous. These athletes are making hundreds of thousands of dollars, some making millions. Some of yall need to keep that soft mindset out of sports. We’re also talking about the best of the best athletes, if they’re not physically capable of the bare minimum, then they aren’t athletes that belong in said sport. These sports have milestones and thresholds for reasons. Idgaf the age of the person who made this video, they’re dumb af for even trying to get an audience behind this. Some of yall are just so weak it’s wild. Before some of yall get upset with me for voicing MY OWN OPINION, keep in mind with the part I said “thresholds” and “milestones” are set for a reason. Well when you change sports drastically, you’re almost slapping ALL the people who played before for a various amount of reasons. I’m not saying we shouldn’t evolve sports because I’m a big advocate for the idea that the skill in said sports gets better every year, but we shouldn’t be devolving the players in said sports. That’s what this videos main point is. I’d honestly take this down if I’m the creator, but at the same time I imagine this helps give his channel some buzz.
