Study reveals one in three camogie players suffer burnout

More than one third of camogie players have suffered symptoms of burnout, according to a survey of club players carried out by the Camogie Association.

Some of the key concerns emerging from the survey surround access to physios and strength and conditioning coaches — 68.3% of players surveyed stated they “seldom, hardly ever, or never” had access to a physio, while that figure rose to 78.6% for strength and conditioning coaches.

Some 34.6% felt they “often or always had three or more symptoms of burnout”, which included “feelings of intense fatigue”, “felt vulnerable to infection”; and “felt detached from family and friends”.
