In a special follow up episode of the British Canoeing Awarding Body Coaching Podcast Lee delves deeper into the athlete and participant involvement in burnout with Ben Woodruff. Throughout the podcast they discuss the impact of burnout on coaches and athletes, why and how a coach should consider designing sessions to mitigate against athlete burnout and 5 top tips on how to prevent yourself or others burning out. It is imperceptive as a coach or employer to ensure you/those in your employment are protected from burnout as this mental health condition can cause long term effects to individuals experiencing it. Before you listen just a pre-warning: on this podcast we discuss some sensitive subjects around mental health, with some things that may be triggers for those suffering mental health conditions. It’s an important conversation that’s becoming more and more pertinent, but please only listen if you can.
