Andrew Sturgess is into his second season as the senior coach of the Coburg Football Club in the VFL. Prior to this appointment, he was an assistant coach at the Lions in 2017 under Peter German and then in 2018 under Leigh Adams, before having a stint at Bundoora in the Northern Football League in 2019 as the main man. In our chat with Andrew, we talk about what it’s like being such a young coach at VFL level, the challenges of coaching a standalone club, and the pillars of his coaching philosophy.
