It has been reported that sport coaches have to manage a range of personal (e.g., work-life balance; financial) and interpersonal (e.g., micro-politics) demands coupled with high levels of job insecurity, whilst being ultimately accountable for the performance of their athletes. An individual’s ability to cope with such circumstances impacts their own personal and professional functioning and of those with whom they work. This session aims to explore the demanding nature of sport coaching, drawing on lessons learned from research and practice to examine the importance of coping effectiveness as a mechanism to enhance well-being and subsequent performance.
