  • Andrew Higham - Looking after Number 1: A look at coach well-being.

    Andrew Higham - Looking after Number 1: A look at coach well-being.
    May 28 2025
    In this episode of the coach doctor podcast, I talk with Dr Andrew Higham. Andrew has recently been appointed as an Assistant Professor at Heriot Watt University in Scotland working in the areas of psychology and sport psychology. At the time of recording, he was a lecturer in sport psychology at Shefield Hallam University in England. He has published work in multiple academic journals including Qualitative Research in Sport, Exercise and Health; Psychology of Sport and Exercise and the International Sports Coaching Journal. He has also presented internationally at the International Council for Coaching Excellence Global Coach Conference, where I was fortunate to listen to Andrew speak. I was completely blown away, not just by the originality of his research, but also his passion and devotion to his subject matter. In today’s conversation I wanted to discuss Andrew’s research around coach well-being and unpack some of the challenges that coaches face both in the spotlight and behind the scenes in what can be a very fickle and pressure filled world. This conversation made me think a lot about my own well-being as a coach and made me consider how often I recharge my own battery. Coaching is a demanding job that requires immense dedication, time, and energy at all levels from amateur to professional. It's easy for coaches to prioritize their athletes' needs over their own, but neglecting self-care can lead to burnout, stress, and decreased effectiveness. Maintaining well-being allows coaches to be at their best, both mentally and physically. When coaches take care of themselves, they can bring more energy, positivity, and focus to their teams. This not only enhances their coaching performance but also sets a positive example for their athletes. It's important for coaches to find a balance between their professional responsibilities and personal lives. This might involve setting boundaries, seeking support from colleagues, and making time for activities that bring joy and relaxation. Coaches should feel empowered to seek help if they're struggling and to create an environment where mental health is openly discussed and supported, and organisations should also support their coaches in providing this support.
