Making a backup plan takes up a part of your attention which otherwise you would have given to your primary goal.
E.g., If you have to work 24/7 toward becoming a pro, sparing even 5 min. every day thinking about a backup plan would decrease the amount of time you could have given to becoming a pro.
Also, having a backup plan itself shows your own lack of confidence in achieving your primary goal.
This is basic psychology.

I dont like that comment that much. Going for a walk for 5 minutes will be more benefitial than playing those extra five minutes. The mind needs some rest to put things you learnt in perspective. Taking recreation days and doing activities outside Sc2 seems quite important to me. It depends on the person, I guess. I dont think there is a reason to talk about backup plans or burning bridges, when he is just taking a year off.
