Elite Coaching and Burnout: Finding Purpose Beyond Performance
from Enhanced Pod Hosted by Nic Pereira
In this episode, I sit down with one of South Africa’s most accomplished hockey coaches, Gareth Ewing. Gareth has coached at the very highest level of the sport — including the Olympics, Commonwealth Games, Hockey World Cups, and international franchise hockey — while building a career that has taken him across the globe. But this conversation goes far beyond medals, tournaments, and elite performance. We unpack the realities of working in high-performance sport, the pressure and personal sacrifice that often comes with chasing success, and how Gareth navigated periods of challenge and burnout within elite coaching environments. Most importantly, we explore how those experiences shaped a new chapter in his life and career — helping other leaders, coaches, and high performers build sustainable performance, self-awareness, and purpose through his new chapter on the back of his lived experiences. This is a powerful conversation around leadership, identity, resilience, performance, and the human side of elite sport.
