Expert Opinion - You’re More Than Just The Job

Burnout sucks.

For athletes and high-performers, it doesn’t just suck—it ends careers.

Josh Fletcher knows this all too well. With 17 years in elite sports—rugby, football, Olympic athletes, and special forces—he's seen the toll.

He learned the hard way. Falling asleep at the wheel from exhaustion was the wake-up call.

Work-life balance? A myth. Josh champions "work-life harmony" instead. Work and life are parts of the same whole.

Boundaries are key. Without them, you’ll over-deliver until you're empty. Protect your time, energy, and well-being.

Josh learned from special forces that recovery matters. Without it, burnout is inevitable.

Career periodisation: Plan your career in phases. Know when to push, when to recover. It’s how athletes thrive—and you should too.

Actionable Takeaway:

1. Set boundaries: Protect your time and energy.

2. Manage stress: Use the "3 R's"—Recognise, Reset, Refocus.

3. Periodise your career: Plan phases to avoid burnout.

Burnout is real—how can boundaries and recovery help you sustain success?
