On the Cover
The signs of physical fatigue, emotional stress and psychological burnout all indicate that your swimmer is overtrained. You know you have to back off now, reduce the workload, give your swimmer some rest, but you would rather have avoided the situation completely. Being aware of what leads to overtraining, and being constantly on the lookout for tell-tale signs, can help both you and ~our athletes to move smoothly through the season without burning out. James Parker reviews the current literature on overtraining in an article beginning on page 10.
