“We don’t normalize burnout in athletics at all, on any stage, any level,” Woods said. “Even when NBA players try to sit out and just take a break, we fine them, because we’re fans and hey, we want our money’s worth tonight and fans pay to come see you play, so you cannot sit. We put all this pressure on our athletes and a way in which it takes self out of it for them. So now they’re just doing it for everyone except them. When you take yourself out of something, it’s hard to enjoy it. It doesn’t matter how good you are at anything, if it’s not fun anymore it’s gonna be hard as hell to do.”
