Title: Wellbeing in Football with Jenny Coe: Performance Through Wellbeing
Episode summary:
Host Carolyn Kent speaks with performance psychologist Jenny Coe (West Ham United, UK Sport, former Performance Wellbeing Lead at The FA; now Senior Lead for Workforce Development) about the foundations of wellbeing in women’s and girls’ football. Jenny explains why feeling safe, supported and valued as a whole person underpins performance, and how clubs can embed wellbeing into the rhythm of the season rather than treat it as a tick-box exercise.
What you’ll learn:
How identity, purpose and psychological safety shape on‑pitch performance
The real-world challenges facing female players: financial insecurity, injury, transitions, social media
The coach’s role in setting tone and culture (and how a single comment can undo weeks of progress)
Practical examples: staff collaboration, curiosity over contempt, player‑led check‑ins
Tech overload vs. informed choice: using data without letting it define wellbeing
“Design for everyone” from day one—so players can thrive without bolt‑ons
