    Jase Fiddes On Player Wellbeing, the Warriors’ COVID Relocation, and the Hidden Pressures of Elite Sport - Sideline Stories #11

    In this episode, we sit down with Jase Fiddes to explore the human side of elite sport and the work that goes on behind the scenes to support athletes at the highest level. Jase has spent years working inside professional sporting environments, including time with the Brisbane Broncos and the New Zealand Warriors in the National Rugby League, helping players navigate the pressures, expectations, and personal challenges that come with life in elite sport. We discuss what athlete wellbeing actually looks like inside professional clubs, the mental and emotional pressures players face that fans rarely see, and the important role support staff play in helping athletes manage both performance and life away from the field. Jase also shares insights from one of the most unique periods in modern sport — the Warriors’ relocation during COVID — and what that experience revealed about resilience, sacrifice, and the importance of looking after players as people first. Beyond the professional game, Jase is now working closely with the next generation of athletes through his junior development pathways program, helping young players pursue opportunities in sport while also building strong foundations in character, identity, and wellbeing. This conversation is a powerful reminder that elite sport isn’t just about what happens during the game — it’s about the people, pressures, and support systems behind it. Hosted on Acast.
