Orin gives up Tennis for a Cheerleader. Orin burns out.

P.288:

"...he'd discovered that he was an empty withered psychic husk, competitively, burned out. Orin had been playing, eating, sleeping, and excreting competitive tennis since his raquet was bigger than he was. He said he realized he had at eighteen become exactly as fine a tennis player as he was ever destined to be."

Hmm. Been there. Been that: "an empty withered psychic husk".

Still that?

How do I make sure that this doesn't happen to my boy/joy?

Or does he just have to avoid burn out on his own or by chance?
