Overtraining has the ill-effect of killing the performance of players even if the training has been a success. It can also cause DOMS or delayed-onset muscle soreness.

Light stretching exercises can be helpful in treating this condition. This is exactly why it is good to know how your players are progressing in terms of fitness.
