vision & mission statement
The Annual Review of High Performance Coaching and Consulting is an international, peer-reviewed, scholarly journal focused on the transfer of knowledge, understanding and skills from one domain (e.g., sport) to another (e.g., business), especially with regard to communication, motivation, leadership, talent identification and management, team building, organisational behaviour, and performance psychology. Ethical and marketing issues will be a priority. The mission of the journal is to bridge the gap between academic, professional and lay discourse on coaching and consulting. The journal encourages the submission of original research, case studies, 'state-of-the-art' reviews, advocacy pieces, and theory-driven reflections on practice. The review process of the Annual Review of High Performance Coaching and Consulting is 'open,' which means that both authors and reviewers know each other's identity; and acknowledgment of the reviewers' work is footnoted on the first page of each article. This process has proved successful for both the International Journal of Sports Science and Coaching and the Annual Review of Golf Coaching.
