A life coach definition can vary depending on what your specific goals are. A life coach encourages and counsels clients on a range of professional and personal issues. Life coaching is distinct from giving advice, consulting, counselling, mentoring and administering therapy. D.P. Sports Performance Psychology would  help you with specific professional projects, personal goals and transitions.  As a coach, we would help you grow by analysing your current situation, identifying limiting beliefs and other potential challenges and obstacles you face and devising a custom plan of action designed to help you achieve specific outcomes in your life.

​

The relationship between a client and their lifestyle coach is a creative partnership that seeks to:

• Identify, clarify and create a vision for what the client wants

• Use coach’s expertise to modify goals as needed

• Encourage client’s self-discovery and growth

• Nurture and evoke strategies and a plan of action based on what fits best with the client’s goals, personality and vision

• Foster client accountability to increase productivity

These aspects of the process all work together to allow the client to maximize his or her potential, and research shows that coaching and training is a far more effective combination than training alone. In fact, training alone can increase productivity by 22.4%, but when combined with weekly life coaching, productivity is boosted by 88%.
