As to Coaching Psychology

It is imporrtant to stress that SILM^® is a theoretical foundation to underpin practice and Being-in-the-World. The sportsperson steps out of the game to analyze and perfect skill, but then returns to world of competition in the moment relying on those honed unconscious coping skills.

From the SILM^® perspective, coaching psycholgy is concerned with facilitating the coachee to apply psychological knowledge in his or her journey through life on a spiral of personal development toward success and fulfilment with wellbeing.
