I've seen more people burn out 6 months later after "I dont need/want an offseason" than I have the other way around of taking an off season, gaining a few pounds (the horror), losing "fitness" (as if you can't get it back) and then restarting when the mind/body is ready to go.
Especially for AG athletes, when thoughts of wanting to take a break creep in, you aren't going to overcome that becuase your going to be "dedicated" imo. So in the case of the OP who's basicaly wanting others to tell him it's ok to take a break, take the fucking break.
