Coaching the Coach: Performance Wellbeing for PGA Professionals

Coaching is a profession built on giving to others—but what happens when your own wellbeing is quietly running on empty? Based on the latest Australian Institute of Sport research into coach wellbeing, this ACE Audiobook explores why personal wellbeing isn't separate from coaching performance—it's the foundation of it.

Through practical examples and golf-specific scenarios, you'll discover how sustainable coaching isn't about working less—it's about working smarter, recovering deliberately, and building systems that allow you to perform at your best over the long term.

What you'll take away:

Why personal wellbeing and coaching performance draw from the same "tank"
Practical strategies to prevent burnout during golf's busiest periods
How to build recovery, boundaries, and support into your coaching calendar
Ways to create healthier expectations for yourself, your team, members, and players
Simple changes that make coaching more sustainable without compromising performance
