Taking time to reflect on the boundaries between coaching and the rest of your life is crucial.
When we step off the court, pitch or track we don’t stop coaching. For many coaches, it's time spent reflecting on their practice; continuing to support their athletes; or looking for ways to develop their coaching craft. Without being aware of these boundaries, coaches could find it difficult to switch-off or, at times, feel engulfed and overwhelmed by the challenges that coaching sometimes brings.
