Abstract
This article looks at how harmonic and obsessive passion, perceived performance, positive and negative stress, and worry uniquely predict athlete burnout in sport. A sample of 318 junior elite athletes from different sports participated in the investigation. Our results from a multiple regression analysis show that all variables, except for obsessive passion, uniquely and significantly contributed to explain the variance in athlete burnout. Together these independent variables explained 47% of the variance in athlete burnout. The results are discussed in regard of applied implications and possible future research.
