I wholeheartedly agree with your column about overtraining. While I haven’t done much in MMA, I have played other sports competitively and I think overtraining becomes both a physical AND mental issue.
In addition, one can overtrain or overprepare for just about anything in life and psyche oneself out in the process (whether its a school exam or a big presentation at work.)
Wouldn’t one naturally be inclined to believe that a sport such as MMA, where the training is incredibly intense, would have athletes prone to overtraining?
