Article Draft
In this draft, I am going to use the following references to increase the information in this paragraph. My goal is to add more information talking about "reduced performance accomplishment". I also think having a scholarly article or a journal will strengthen this section of the article.

Article body
The concept of athlete burnout is made up of three parts: physical and emotional exhaustion, reduced performance accomplishment, and sport devaluation. The core element, physical and emotional exhaustion, is characterized by fatigue from training and competitions. Reduced performance accomplishment is defined as focusing on the feeling of being unable to reach goals and succeed with training and/or competitions. Sport devaluation, the third aspect, is characterized by loss of interest and care for sports, which further results in reduced quality of performance.

Looking closer at reduced performance accomplishment in athlete burnout, we understand that it consists of the continuous struggle to meet personal and external performance expectations. Athletes interacting with this aspect often find themselves short of achieving their goals, which ultimately creates feelings of self-doubt. As performance declines, motivation disappears, creating a repeated cycle of decline. Interventions targeting this part of "burnout" should aim to rebuild confidence, build on top of new goals, and ultimately find the athlete's passion and enjoyment in their sport.
