Ah, you look for signs like constant fatigue, grumpy moods, or losing joy in the sport—that’s the body and heart shouting for rest. Coaches like me track load with heart rate monitors and daily wellness sheets, but the real measure is in their eyes during morning drills; a dull spark means we’ve pushed too far. I disagree with just following the data, because I once overtrained a brilliant long jumper who broke her spirit before any machine flagged it—now I listen more to their stories over evening chai than to any graph.
