What happens when training becomes a burden instead of a blessing?

In this episode, I sit down with coach Misbah Haque to talk about how to bring purpose, fun, and sustainability back into training—especially for burned-out CrossFit athletes who’ve lost their spark.

We cover:
✅ Early signs of burnout and athlete fatigue
✅ Common struggles among ex-competitors and overtrained athletes
✅ How to rebuild trust in your body and enjoy training again
✅ Shifting from intensity to intentionality
✅ Programming strategies that reduce pain and increase consistency
✅ Emotional patterns in burned-out athletes (and how to coach through them)
✅ The difference between training for competition vs longevity
✅ What athletes really want once the scoreboard fades

Whether you're a former competitor or coach, this episode will show you how to build—not burn—the athletes you work with (or yourself).
