Eagles - Take It To The Limit .
All alone at the end of the of the evening
And the bright lights have faded to blue
I was thinking 'bout a woman who might have
Loved me and I never knew
You know I've always been a dreamer
(spent my life running 'round)
And it's so hard to change
(can't seem to settle down)
But the dreams I've seen lately
Keep on turning out and burning out
And turning out the same
So put me on a highway
And show me a sign
And take it to the limit one more time
You can spend all your time making money
You can spend all your love making time
If it all fell to pieces tomorrow
Would you still be mine?
And when you're looking for your freedom
(nobody seems to care)
And you can't find the door
(can't find it anywhere)
When there's nothing to believe in
Still you're coming back, you're running back
You're coming back for more
So put me on a highway
And show me a sign
And take it to the limit one more time
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit one more time

I been around pro pool players for many years, and yes some get burned out more than others. I think the travel takes more out of the person than the "play" does. its not leisure travel.
I was at dinner 2 nights ago with a pro pool player here in Germany, he leaves for China on the 10th and is back on the 21st. While one trip like that a year to go take pictures of the "Great Wall" might be fine, to go there to win, play at a high level, under the pressure, tight schedule, then off to vegas the week after China from Germany etc. That would get old real fast with me, especially wen your over 40. Now if your 23 like Judd and have a very understanding wife/girl(like I do) then its different.
after chasing flights, tourny meetings, managing your $$$, personal life, airport food, playing in top form-anyone would get burned out.
Now private jets like football players have and handlers carring your baggage and limo's to the suite at the hotel would help keep the "burn-out" factor lower,
