Jay Coakley (1992) developed an alternative view with a more sociological view. Although stress is involved in burnout, this view sees it as a symptom and not a cause. The real cause is believed to be related to the social organization of high performance sport (e.g. time demands) and its effects on individuality and control concerns in athletes. Burnout happens because the structure of the competitive sporting environment doesn't allow athletes to develop a social identity because the don't spend sufficient time with their peers outside of the sporting environment. This causes athletes to identify with sporting success and when this doesn't happen (injury or performance failure) then the associated stress can lead to burnout.
