ABSTRACT

The three of us combine decades of experience in the sport coaching field, first as athletes who have been coached, then as coaches, coach educators and coaching scientists. Increasingly we have been asked to act as consultants to guide sport organisations in the development of their coaches. In the high-performance coaching context, a shift from a ‘fixing problems’ approach to a ‘flourishing’ approach cannot happen without guidance.
