INFLUENCERS
The SUN Coach Education program has its roots in 1980 in England, brought to the US in 1987. Our coaching is holistic and based on models of Business Management, Learning Theories and Sports coaching. Our approach to coaching is revealed in Tim Gallwey’s books about the The Inner Game (Tennis, Golf, Work….). In his book, Mr. Gallwey’s approach is to focus on what happens between hits. It is the focus on “between the meeting approach” practice and application of competencies and ethics, that contributes to making SUN a unique and effective coaching program. SUN also works with principles from the fields of Integrated Learning, NLP, Ancient Greek and Egyptian Wisdom, and Neuroscience.
