I do not love basketball like I used to. Am I burned out?

Elijah's answer

Maybe. Or maybe you still love the game and you are tired of everything attached to it. Pressure can make basketball feel like a job before it needs to be one. Parents. coaches. rankings. offers. expectations. At some point the game gets buried under all of that. For one week, remove the scoreboard from your mind. Go shoot alone. Play pickup. Work on something that feels fun. No posting. No tracking. No proving. Then ask yourself a real question. If nobody saw it and nobody praised me, would I still want to play? If the answer is yes, the love is still there. It just needs space to breathe.

YOUR TURN

If this is you, the answer is in the room. Apply for a Founders 200 seat or join the Locker Room waitlist.
