Although ‘Coaching’ is in it’s early stages of development, it is generally agreed that coaching has a deeper history. In fact Life Skills coaching links back to education programmes developed in New York in the 1960’s, where the emphasis was on self-directed development and away from dependency. Coaching is also influenced by constructivist learning theories; where the coachee is always a pro-active participant, knowledge is generated internally (not just gathered from external sources/ or reference) and it is generally agreed that motivation is intrinsic. Individuals are self-motivated and they set goals that naturally draw them forwards. Sports psychology such as performing at our best and setting and reaching goals are also principles that are in harmony with the overall goals of coaching. Developing and encouraging personal best, maintaining focus on what can be done by being forward looking and overcoming barriers, challenges and self-limiting beliefs. In fact it is entirely natural to have a coach if you want to be successful in sport, just think of David Beckham, for example. What would the world of football make of him if he didn’t have a coach to help him stay at the top? Essentially this is what coaching is. Working with a Life Coach helps you become more successful in areas of your Life that are important to you.
