This month, we sit down with Andy Halliday, former Team Manager for England and Great Britain’s men’s Olympic hockey teams. From an unexpected start inspired by a radio ad to a storied career in elite sport, Andy shares how his time in the police shaped his leadership style.

He dives into the importance of building environments where athletes feel safe, understood, and ready to perform, emphasising the power of empathy, preparation, and thinking slow to act fast. Now a coach, commentator, and charity advocate, Andy’s story is as multifaceted as the sport he loves.
