The skills developed as a coach are mainly gained through direct coaching practice in the real-world. Sometimes they are complemented with formal coach education. The blend of both formal coach education and the exposure to a real-life working environment is a powerful and ideal mix for the coach wherein they can draw from, reflect on and use their real world coaching experiences to complement their more formal learning and development.
