Lachlan Wilmot discusses the transition from working in high-performance sports to the private sector. He initially expected better hours in the private sector but faced challenges like fires, blackouts, and COVID-19. From a family perspective, he finds the private sector offers significantly better hours, especially on weekends. Wilmot believes that the quality of the coaches around you matters more than the specific category (high performance vs. private sector). He emphasizes that a good coach is a good coach regardless of the sector, but highlights that experience in group settings, particularly on a gym floor, is valuable in his environment.
