A fulfilling life is all about balance. Athletics are a critical part of being a healthy and happy person, and there is certainly room for athletics in everyone’s life. Regardless of whether you are involved as a weekend warrior, professional, or competitive rising star, involvement at any level is a wonderful decision. However, some athletes become obsessed with their sport and lose that important balance and perspective. At that point, athletics can become unhealthy and even dangerous, both mentally and physically. To help maintain perspective and balance, get involved in something other than your sport: spend time with your family or friends (who don’t necessarily share your passion for athletics), take a class, or challenge yourself to learn a new language or take up a new hobby. Sports should be a part of everyone’s lifestyle — but they must not be the only part.
