Burnout is a significant risk for coaches, often leading to fatigue, reduced motivation, and potential disengagement. Constant demands, high expectations, and the emotional weight of guiding athletes can intensify stress.

Effective strategies to manage burnout include setting healthy boundaries, prioritising self-care, and developing a strong support network. Coaches benefit from staying connected to their purpose, taking regular breaks, and exploring interests beyond sport.

By maintaining personal well-being, coaches can enhance resilience and foster a more positive environment for themselves and their teams.
