Example 1: Presentations regarding psychological skills as part of a programme of Coach Education. Such presentations can provoke positive interaction and the breaking down of barriers that can sometimes exist between Coaches/ Team Managers and Sport Psychologists. Many Coaches/ Managers report the use of mental skills and strategies for their own work performance. These include Goal-Setting, Anxiety and Stress Management.

Example 2: Mentoring for trainee Sport Psychologists. Reflective experiential learning is now accepted for training many types of applied psychologists. Continuing Professional Development is now seen as a standard requirement in maintaining professional standards by coaches as well as other professionals working in sport.
